Waterloo, Waterloo Where will you meet your Waterloo? Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay Everybody has to meet his Waterloo Now, old Adam was the first in history With an apple he was tempted and deceived Just for spite the devil made him take a bite And that's where old Adam met his Waterloo Waterloo, Waterloo Where will you meet your Waterloo? Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay Everybody has to meet his Waterloo Little General Napoleon of France Tried to conquer the world, but lost his pants Met defeat known as Bonaparte's retreat And that's when Napoleon met his Waterloo Waterloo, Waterloo Where will you meet your Waterloo? Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay Everybody has to meet his Waterloo Now, a feller whose darling proved untrue Took her life, but he lost his too Now he swings where the little birdie sings And that's where Tom Dooley met his Waterloo Waterloo, Waterloo Where will you meet your Waterloo? Every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay Everybody has to meet his Waterloo
