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! Down at the Epicenter Things started heatin' up Rockin' up the richter scale Swingin' 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' up the richter scale Swingin' on the chariot Around and around we go The senators rehearse the tale Watch out Caesar, watch out Caesar
