Lyrics
Little Caesar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Little Caesar has a mandate
Now there is no doubt
The blessing of the Senate and the citizenry
Rome is bowing at his feet
What will he do with all his power?
What'll Little Caesar do now?
What do little Caesars always do
When their enemies cower?
Little Caesar's words ring
In the heart of every Legionnaire
They are trained and in formation
To do his will
And so it's on to glory
For God's chosen one on Earth
The Holy Roman Emperor
Bequeathed the crown by birth
And so the public has spoken
With resounding clarity
As to who they trust
And in what they believe
And they've proven that it's futile
To resist
The cult of Little Caesar
Do so at your own peril and risk
