Lyrics
[Note: Frederick the Great is in dark blue, Ivan the Terrible is in regular text, and additional voices are in italics.]
Verse 1:
(Psst!) What about a flute-busting Prussian?
Old Fritz! Old Fritz! Old Fritz! Old Fritz!
Old Fritz! Old Fritz! Old Fritz! Old Fritz!
I'm Frederick the Great! Out the gate, first servant of state!
Oblique attack tactics ain't exactly straight!
I've got creative talents and battle malice!
Hard as steel on the field, genteel in the palace!
Russia's fucked up, but no wonder why!
With your tundras and taigas and bears! Oh my!
I would pay a guy to tear out my eyes
If I had to look at your troll face every night!
Now, bring me my chair!
I'm weary from tearing you a new derrière from here to Red Square!
Fought a Seven Years' War; I ain't scared of a Tsar
'Cause beating you only took me twelve bars!
During Ivan the Terrible's third verse:
I'd keep ripping you to shreds, but I'll take a break instead
And just rest my little head. Why don't you drop dead Fred?
