The Romans of Asterix (song 1)

Song: The Romans of Asterix
Music, Lyrics & Voices: Ai

[verse1]
A tale of Roman woes and Gaulish might,
Of centurions who yearned to win the fight.
From Totorum, Laudanum, and Aquarium forts,
Came legions trained in Caesar's finest arts.

There was Gracchus, with his plans all neat,
Who thought with tactics he'd secure defeat.
He marched his men, a disciplined array,
And found his plans were tossed and thrown away.

[chorus]
So let us laugh at these poor Roman souls,
Who tried to conquer where the magic rolls.
For Asterix and Obelix, with potion's might,
Will always send the Romans to a blighted flight.

[verse2]
Then came Cumulusnimbus, of renown,
Who hoped to bring the mighty Gauls right down.
He built his walls, his strategy well-planned,
But found himself in a chaotic land.

And what of Gluteus Maximus, so bold?
His painful story often has been told.
He faced the potion's power, swift and sure,
And left with bruises he could not endure.

[chorus]
So let us laugh at these poor Roman souls,
Who tried to conquer where the magic rolls.
For Asterix and Obelix, with potion's might,
Will always send the Romans to a blighted flight.

[verse3]
Another tried, with cunning in his eye,
To find the secret of the magic nigh.
He sent a spy, a charlatan in disguise,
But even spies don't trust what they surmise.

They came with fury, with their shields and spears,
And left with bumps, and bruises, and great fears.
For though they were the masters of the world,
The Gauls’ small village sent their plans all whirled.

[chorus]
So let us laugh at these poor Roman souls,
Who tried to conquer where the magic rolls.
For Asterix and Obelix, with potion's might,
Will always send the Romans to a blighted flight.
