Pictures for Mr Schick's Rap

To the shores of the River Tiber

Brand new republic ready to run
Democracy
Aristocracy
Plus monarchy

On horseback is the cavalry

Shield, sword, dagger, and armor and tunic

Hannibal riding on elephant back

I can hear the brothers Gracchus
Sayin, “Rich, please don’t attack us” (don’t attack us)
“We got a feeling that the senators will whack us” (hey!)

It’s the start of the rise of Julius C

It’s a triumvirate -- that’s a group of three
“Crassus (come on), Pompey (come on), I’m JC! (come on)
We three will rule!

Brutus and the Senate murdered Julius C
He hit the floor (he hit the floor)
Next thing you know
Caesar’s no more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more
You know he’s so depressed
23 stab wounds in his chest (in his chest)

Pax Romana is the word that brings the cheers (Yay!)
