Oh, the maps are all spread on my walnut desk,

I’ll rewrite the history books with my touch.
No swords, no guns, just wit and champagne,
A conqueror’s conquest—delightfully urbane!

*Ah, Jenkins, my dear fellow, come here, come here!*
*Yes, sir?*

*Indeed, sir. He suspects nothing.*
*Splendid. And what of the diamonds from South Africa?*
*On the way to the vault, sir.*
*Marvelous. Truly, Jenkins, I couldn’t do this without you.*
*Thank you, sir.*
*Now, fetch me my top hat. One must look one’s best when orchestrating global domination!*
[Bridge]
With a flick of my pen and a charming grin,
I’ll make empires crumble while sipping my gin.
A waltz on the ballroom of world affairs,
And I
