Where do all your vowels and consonants come from?
The legend says that a gorgeous muslim princess
from the height of a tower to the Barbacan close
with nothing within but dust and stones
that princess, hear this, wanting the war to end
after five years siege had passed
the clever thought she had
an ambush to set to crestfallen Charlemagne
and a pig well stuffed with wheat
down the tower she tossed
for him to believe that much food was yet left
The King of the Francs became then resigned
And Lady Carcass, for that was her name,
required him to come
in her pocket to put him
and all the chimes were then made to ring
And that is how peace was bargained at last
Whereon the name of the City has stayed
Up to this day and direct from the past
