Get Rich Lyrics

(John Elefante / Dino Elefante)

Columbus sailed the ocean blue

To see what he would fine

With visions of another world

They said he'd lost his mind

But when he told them of the land he'd found

A land so rich with gold

To get the treasures on the other side

They left the lad of old to

(Chorus)

Get rich now

Get rich now

Get rich now

Get rich now

Napoleon thought that he could be

The ruler of it all

The things he wanted were so very big

But he was very small

They spread the word throughout the land

That he would soon be king

But his greed and pride got in the way

And he lost everything to

(Chorus)

Oh the president and the generals

Are getting ready for a war

The only thing that they don't know

Is what they're fighting for

They shine their suits of armor

And they tell us to prepare

While they take wealth and freedom

And just leave us standing there

Get rich now
