The famous Roman empireWas the biggest, meanest neighbourhoodWe four were the baddest emperorsAnd by bad we don't mean goodWoohoo!My name is CaligulaA rotten Roman big-ulaIf you told me a fib-ulaI'd hack your hands to stumps!One time I killed a priestWho'd come to sacrifice a beastYou think it's sad that he's deceasedWe all laughed like chumps!I'm very hairy, but take noteIf you so much as whisper 'goat'With an iron rod you will be smokedI'm 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 glaaaad...Hoohoo!SongtexteYour nastiness was fabulousBut my name's ElagabalusAnd I was far, far worseJust listen to my verse...I was quite notoriousFor catapulting venomous snakes atRome's enormous crowdsOh how they fled, huh huh!If you won a lottery prizeI'd give you bees, dead dogs and fliesMy house-guests got a nice surprise-A lion in their bed!You'd think to children I'd be cuterNo-o! I was their biggest executerUsed the guts to read the futureSays here I should get a jobs as a school tutor!I'm bad! (He's bad!)Could argue I was sadHated through our empire From Great Britain to Baghdaaaad...Hoohoo!Afraid your claim is bogus'Cause my name is CommodusAnd no-one else could beA worse emperor than me!There never was a greaterPretend gladiatorIf the booing got too loudMade the lions fight the crowd!Just one man was granderJulius AlexanderSo 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's job'Cause you were chosen by your daaaad...To me you all score zeroMy name is Emperor NeroEvil men, you're notI'm the worstest of the lot! Wooo!My rule was full of fear-o Yet men from far and near-oCalled me a fighting heroOr I would have them slain!Changed the Olympic seasonSo the medals went to me-sonBurned Christians for no reasonJust a fun game I played, y'know!Poisoned my step brotherOrdered men to kill my motherTried to drown her but she fledSo I had her stabbed instead!Wait! There's more!To my first wife, dear OctaviaI showed truly bad behaviourChopped her head off, gave it toMy girlfriend, who I then killed too!I'm bad! So baddy!Of badness I'm the daddy!Come on I wanna seeA more evil bloke than me! Yeah!We're bad! Real bad!Nothing more to addWe all thought that we were awfulBut you are really truly maaaad...Woohoo!I'm the baddest emperor the Romans ever had. Aus Songtexte Mania
