"All Hail Caesar" Lyrics

He be the count of Monte Cristo

Could be a quake any day
Maybe somebody from Siam
Begin the era of a new rage
Keeps lickin' all the honey
Chewin' up the fat he rakes
Instead of sending to the lions
They cover him with praise

All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail!
All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail!

Down at the epicenter
Things started heatin' up
Rockin' on the richter scale [Rockin' up the richter scale]
Swinging in the chariot
Around and around we go
The senators rehearse the tale
Starring in the coliseum
Tied upon the rack
Up comes the thumb of Caesar
To stab you in the back

All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail!
All hail Caesar, Hail, Hail!

Down at the epicenter
Things started heatin' up
Rockin' on the richter scale
Swingin' in the chariot
Around and around we go
the Senators rehearse the tale

"Watch out Caesar, watch out Caesar"

[I said hail, I said hail!
I said Hail, I said Hail!

Hail
Hail
Hail
Hail
Hail
Hail
Hail
Hail
Hail ]

[All hail Caesar, hail, hail!
All hail Caesar, hail, hail!
All hail Caesar, hail, hail!
All hail Caesar, hail, hail!

You need eyes in the back of your head boy,
or you're dead.]
