Just like a Roman

(All) In circa forty three A.D.,
The Romans came from overseas,
And thanks to archaeology,
We know a lot about them.

(All) They were very fond of feasts
And always wanted more to chew up.
With wine and veg’tables and beasts,
They stuff’d and stuff’d and then they threw up.
(spoken) (Bleh!)
Rich Romans lik’d to dress with flair,
In togas, cloaks and jewell’ry,
They would sometimes bleach their hair
With ash and vinegar and wee!
(spoken) (Eeouw!)

(All) They worshipp’d many diff’rent deities,
For ev’ry aspect of their life,
Mighty Jupiter was king of these
And Juno was his wife.
The Roman’s building work was great,
Their sewage system takes some beating.
The roads they laid were super straight
And they invented central heating.

They excell’d themselves at war
And conquer’d many other nations,
Three hundred thousand troops or more
Took very good organisation.
The Romans lik’d to have a laugh,
(spoken) (ha ha ha!)
Gladiator fights and chariot races,
A visit to the public baths
Would put a smile upon their faces.
