[00:13.38] All the early Roman kings
[00:16.09] In their sharkskin suits
[00:19.05] Bow ties and buttons
[00:21.92] High top boots
[00:24.89] Drivin' the spikes in
[00:27.93] Blazin' the rails
[00:30.91] Nailed in their coffins
[00:33.75] In top hats and tails
[00:36.84] Fly away, little bird
[00:39.66] Fly away, flap your wings
[00:42.68] Fly by night
[00:45.51] Like the early Roman kings
[00:47.70]
[01:00.78] All the early roman kings
[01:03.33] In the early early morn
[01:06.32] Coming down the mountain
[01:09.03] Distributing the corn
[01:12.16] Speeding through the forest
[01:15.14] Racing down the track
[01:18.21] You try to get away
[01:21.06] They drag you back
[01:23.96] Tomorrow is Friday
[01:27.03] We'll see what it brings
[01:30.07] Everybody's talking
[01:33.04] Bout the early roman kings
[01:35.05]
[01:48.12] They're peddlers and they're meddlers
[01:50.74] They buy and they sell
[01:53.59] They destroyed your city
[01:56.47] They'll destroy you as well
[01:59.37] They're lecherous and treacherous
[02:02.38] Hell-bent for leather
[02:05.55] Each of 'em bigger
[02:08.40] Than all them put together
[02:11.55] Sluggers and muggers
[02:14.27] Wearing fancy gold rings
[02:17.31] All the women goin' crazy
[02:20.26] For the early Roman kings
[02:22.32]
[02:35.42] I can dress up your wounds
[02:37.96] With a blood-clotted rag
[02:40.90] I ain't afraid to make love
[02:43.72] To a bitch or a hag
[02:46.77] If you see me comin'
[02:50.56] And you're standing there
[02:53.59] Wave your handkerchief
[02:56.48] In the air
[02:59.39] I ain't dead yet
[03:02.25] Ma Bell still rings
[03:05.32] I keep my fingers crossed
[03:07.54] Like them early roman kings
[03:10.20]
[03:22.25] I can strip you of life
[03:25.04] Strip you of breath
[03:27.89] Ship you down
[03:31.00] To the house of death
[03:33.92] One day
[03:36.80] You will ask for me
[03:39.90] There'll be no one else
[03:42.76] That you'll wanna see
[03:45.96] Bring down my fiddle
[03:48.68] Tune up my strings
[03:51.94] I'm gonna break it wide open
[03:54.78] Like the early roman kings
[03:57.51]
[04:09.90] I was up on black mountain
[04:12.27] The day Detroit fell
[04:15.38] They killed 'em all off
[04:18.29] And they sent 'em to hell
[04:21.36] Ding dong daddy
[04:24.26] You're coming up short
[04:27.36] Gonna put you on trial
[04:30.15] In a Sicilian court
[04:33.24] I've had my fun
[04:36.16] I've had my flings
[04:39.15] Gonna shake em all down
[04:42.14] Like the early roman kings
[04:44.77]
