Saturday Night Live - Rome Song

Copied!
(Song)
{WIFE 1}
Lately it seems like the magic is gone
He's the love of my life, but something is wrong
{WIFE 2}
He's staring out the window, what does he see?
Is he dreaming of another woman he wants more than me?
{WIFE 3}
He's got me feelin' so alone
Like our house is not a home
{WIFE 1}
Would he be happier on his own?
What are you thinking about, baby?
{HUSBAND 1}
Me? I'm just thinkin' about
(Rap)
The Roman Empire, ancient Rome
Five times a day it pops into my dome
Which reminds me, they invented the dome
It's one of the reasons that I think about Rome
Caesar straight didn't give a f--k
Drank ice-cold water from an aqueduct
Romulus founded the Eternal City
Here's him and his twin suckin' on a wolf titty
What?
(Song)
{WIFE 2}
Our son was born, he's a special little guy
I hand him to his daddy, he looks like he's gonna cry
And I know his heart is filled with
(Rap)
{HUSBAND 2}
Rome, Rome bring a tear to my eye
In the year double M, double X, triple I
Did you know that their statues weren't white? (Say what?)
They painted them in colors bold and bright (Say damn!)
Emperor Nero killed his own mother
When they killed his s--t they sat next to each other
(Song)
{WIFE 3}
Bills piling up, bank account --
(Rap)
{HUSBAND 3}
Gladiators! It's not like the movie, they mostly stayed alive
The feel oh so good, they're stilled used today
And Emperor Hadrian? Openly gay
{HUSBANDS}
It's Rome, Rome, ancient Rome
They had central air and heat in the home
(Spoken)
{WIFE 1}
No! No, you're done!
{HUSBAND 1}
God!
{WIFE 1}
What'd you say?
{HUSBAND 1}
I said you're acting like the Visigoths right now. Ow!
{WIFE 1}
Stop thinking about Rome all the time! Look at our son! You got him doing it now, too
{SON}
Rome? Naw, woman. I'm busy thinkin' about
(Rap)
Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, all kinda dinosaurs
Big Diplodocus to Tyrannosaurus
They ruled the world, but now they not around
Only traces of them buried in the ground
{HUSBAND 1}
Kinda like Rome, Rome, ancient Rome
Founded London and Paris, and Cologne
And in terms of religion
(Spoken)
{WIFE 1}
Hey, no! You need to be thinking about things that matter today
{HUSBAND 1}
Like what?
{WIFE 1}
Like --
(Rap)
{WIVES}
Astrology, astrology, reading the stars
And how their positions determines who we are
{WIFE 2}
He's a Scorpio, I know he's gonna cheat all day
{WIFE 3}
And if you a triple Gemini, stay the hell away
{WIFE 1}
Astrology!
(Spoken)
{HUSBAND 1}
Fun fact: the Romans were actually into astrology, too
{WIFE 1}
I said you're done!
