I DON'T WANT TO MAKE HISTORY

Hal Kemp



Columbus took a chance

And I would take a chance

As long as there's a moon up above

But I don't want to make history

I just want to make love



Napoleon took a chance

But when I think of France

It's Josephine that I'm thinking of

Cause I don't want to make history

I just want to make love



We all can't be heroes

We all can't be great

Right now I'll settle for a love affair,

And the dickens with affairs of state



I hear a call to arms

But sentimental arms

My banner is the moon up above

For I don't want to make history

I just want to make love
