CHORUS

Wa-ter-loo, Wa-ter-loo,

Where will you meet your Wa-ter-loo?

Ev-'ry pup-py has its day,

ev-'ry-bo-dy has to pay,

ev-'ry-bo-dy has to meet his Wa-ter-loo.

VERSE 1

Now old A-dam was the first in his-to-ry,

With an ap-ple he was temp-ted and de-ceived;

Just for spite, the de-vil made him take a bite,

And that's where old Ad-am met his Wa-ter-loo

VERSE 2

Lit-tle Gen'ral Na-po-le-on of France

Tried to con-quer the world but lost his chance;

Met de-feat, known as Bon-a-parte's re-treat,

and that's where Na-po-leon met his Wa-ter-loo

VERSE 3

Now a fel-lah who's dar-lin proved un-true,

Took her life, but he lost his too;

Now he swings where the lit-tle bir-dies sing,

And that's where Tom Doo-ley met his Wa-ter-loo
