King Sargon got real old,
Told his sons to the throne,
But the huge Akkadian empire would fall out of their control.
But 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 their chariots they rolled
By the Euphrates River, By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River, By the Euphrates River
Near the Persian Gulf is where they found
Ancient ruins underground, Archaeologists did lots of excavation down
By the Euphrates River, By the Euphrates River
By the Euphrates River, By the Euphrates River
