Ancient Mesopotamia
Euphrates River
Hey, I got a new lesson for you about ancient Mesopotamia
(Eu-) The Euphrates River and the Tigris River formed the cradle of civilization
Akkadians long ago conquered Sumer, took control
Sargon led his armies in chariots they rolled
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Persian Gulf's where they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Both the Euphrates River
And the Tigris River used to flood
Bringing lots of fertile mud
But the problem was that water washed away the crops
Dams and levees made it stop
When it was dry they'd irrigate
Fighting over water led to war between the city states
Cuneiform is ancient writing
That tells the Sumer city states were always fighting
They were the first civilization in Mesopotamia
Then came the Akkadians who started empire mania
Akkadians long ago conquered Sumer, took control
Sargon led his armies, in chariots they rolled
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Near the Persian Gulf's where they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
King Sargon got real old
Told his sons to take the throne
But the huge Akkadian Empire would fall out of their control
Then came Hammurabi who would take full command
Hammurabi was the king of the Babylonians
Man, Babylonia was the land where they told ya
"You obey Hammurabi's code"
"Praise Hammurabi's code"
Break Hammurabi's code and you'll be saying, "Oh no"
Akkadians long ago conquered Sumer, took control
Sargon led his armies, in chariots they rolled
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Near the Persian Gulf's where they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Babylonians built roads
They traded grain for gold
They kept themselves united under Hammurabi's code
Hammurabi's code, Hammurabi's code
Hammurabi's code, Hammurabi's code
Which was a bunch of laws, they believed that had no flaws
They obeyed it just because
They thought Hammurabi was chosen by the gods (woah)
Chosen by the gods (woah)
Akkadians long ago conquered Sumer, took control
Sargon led his armies, in chariots they rolled
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
Near the Persian Gulf's where they found
Ancient ruins underground
Archaeologists did lots excavation down
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River
