C-C11-C G-G11-G Drivin' the spikes in, blazin' the rails. G-G11-G C-C11-C Nailed in their coffins, in top hats and tails. C-C11-C G-G11-G Fly away over, fly away, flap your wings.

G-G11-G C-C11-C Comin' down the mountain, distributing the corn. C-C11-C G-G11-G Speedin' through the forest, ah racin' down the track. G-G11-G C-C11-C Ya trying' to get away, they drag you back.

G-G11-G C-C11-C They destroyed your city, they'll destroy you as well. C-C11-C G-G11-G They're lecherous and treacherous, a-hell-bent for leather. G-G11-G C-C11-C Each of 'em bigger, than all men put together. C-C11-C G-G11-G Sluggers and muggers, wearin' fancy gold rings. G-G11-G All the women goin' crazy, for the early Roman kings.

C-C11-C G-G11-G If you see me comin' and you're standin' there, G-G11-G C-C11-C Wave your handkerchief in the air. C-C11-C G-G11-G I ain't dead yet, my bell still still rings.

C-C11-C G-G11-G Ding-dong-daddy, you're comin' up short. G-G11-G C-C11-C They'll put you on trial, in a Sicilian Court. C-C11-C G-G11-G I have had my fun, I've had my flings. G-G11-G Goin' shake 'em on down, like the early Roman kings. Coda: | G-G11-G | G-G11-G | | G-G11-G | G-G11-G | (End) |
