Mesoamerica was my homeland
And today I’ll share it with all of you
It was a place that was full of wonder
And great civilizations, too
It was a land of many cultures
And you’ll know them all before we’re through
Until the Spanish tore it asunder
Molmecs and Toltecs
Mayans and Aztecs
But if you invade it
We got a special tip for you!
Don’t drink the water!
The Olmecs built the first empire
In 1200 B.C
And then by the year 900
There was a Mayan society
But they were conquered by the Toltecs
In the tenth century
And they were overrun by my Aztecs
But we didn’t last as you can see
The Spanish invaded
Plundered and raided
Hey, we’re not jaded
But here’s a little advice from me!
Don’t drink the water, it’ll give you the runs!
Montezuma: We had calendars and stone writing
And excelled at mathematics too
Our sacrifices were exciting
But it’s something you should never do
They played sports and were using rubber
Long before the tennis shoe
And we’d still be here creating
If Cortez had never come through!
So come be our guest
We have just one request
Please no more conquests
Or there’s something that he’ll make you do!
Have a drink…of water!
