What are the lyrics to horrible histories roman emperor song?

Answer 1

The famous Roman Empire

Was the biggest meanest neighbourhood

We four were the baddest emperors

And by bad we don't mean good

(Woohoo!)

My name is Caligula

A rotten Roman pig-ula

If you tell me a fib-ula

I'll hack your hands to stumps

One time I killed a priest

Who'd come to sacrifice a beast

You think it's sad that he's deceased

We all laughed like chumps

I'm very hairy, but take note

If you so much as whisper 'goat'

With an iron rod you will be smote

In a good mood today so I won't slit your throat

I'm bad (he's bad!)

A shameless, rotten cad

Do you still have limbs since meeting me?

Then I guess you should be glad

(Woohoo!)

Your nastiness was fabulous

But my name's Elagabalus

And I was far, far worse

Just listen to my verse

I was quite notorious

For catapulting venomous snakes

At Rome's enormous crowds

So how they fled, heheheh

If you won the lottery prize

I'd give you bees, dead dogs and flies

My house guests got a nice surprise

A lion in their bed

You think to children I'd be cuter

No, I was their biggest executor

Used their guts to read the future

Says here I should get a job as a school tutor

I'm bad (he's bad!)

Could argue I was sad

Hated through our empire

From Great Britain to Baghdad

(Woohoo!)

Afraid your claim is bogus

'Cause my name is Commodus

And no one else could be

A worse emperor than me

There never was a greater

Pretend gladiator

If the booing got too loud

Made the lions fight the crowd

Just one man was grander

Julius Alexander

So I killed him, see

'Cause I'm the emperor, me

I'm bad (he's bad!)

My actions truly rad

You only got the emperor job

'Cause you were chosen by your dad

To me you all score zero

My name is Emperor Nero

Evil men you're not

I'm the worstest of the lot

(Woo!)

My rule was full of fear, oh

Yes, men from far and near, oh

Called me a fighting hero

Or I would have them slayed

Changed the Olympic season

So the medals went to me, son

Burned Christians for no reason

Just a fun game I played, you know

Poisoned my step-brother

Ordered men to kill my mother

Tried to drown her but she fled

So I had her stabbed instead

Wait, there's more...

With my first wife, dear Octavia

I showed truly bad behaviour

Chopped her head off, gave it to

My girlfriend who I then killed too

I'm bad, so baddy

Of badness I'm the daddy

Come on, I wanna see

A more evil bloke than me

You're bad, real bad

Nothing more to add

We all thought that we were awful

But you are really truly mad

I'm the baddest emperor the Romans ever had
