is too small for thee"

(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)
5
Near to the east
6
In a part of ancient Greece
7
In an ancient land called Macedonia
8
Was born a son
9
To Philip of Macedon
10
The legend his name was Alexander
11
At the age of nineteen
12
He became the Macedon King
13
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
14
By the Aegian Sea
15
In 334 B.C.
16
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
17
[Chorus]
18
Alexander the Great
19
His name struck fear into hearts of men
20
Alexander the Great
21
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men
22
King Darius the third
23
Defeated fled Persia
24
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
25
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
26
And he founded the city called Alexandria
27
By the Tigris river
28
He met King Darius again
29
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
30
Entering Babylon
31
And Susa, treasures he found
32
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia
33
[Chorus]
34
Alexander the Great
35
His name struck fear into hearts of men
36
Alexander the Great
37
Became a God amongst mortal men
38
A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
39
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
40
And legend said that who untied the knot
41
He would become the master of Asia
42
Hellenism he spread far and wide
43
The Macedonian learned mind
44
Their culture was a western way of life
45
He paved the way for Christianity
46
Marching on, marching on
47
The battle weary marching side by side
48
Alexander's army line by line
49
They wouldn't follow him to India
50
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
51
Alexander the Great
52
His name struck fear into hearts of men
53
Alexander the Great
54
He died of fever in Babylon
