[Greek Man 1] In 776BC Olympics were begun Greece was the only country So naturally we won Cheats built bronzes of God Zeus Were we honest winners The answer's no, we had more statues Than you've had hot dinners
[Greek Man 2] Our games meant truce was called in war A peace every 4 years But wrestling was so violent That bouts could end in tears No girls allowed to watch or run That might sound rude But makes sense when I tell you We competed nude
[All so far] Flame! It's gonna burn forever Love for Olympic heroes Flame! We'd like one next, however Sadly it's Emperor Nero [Nero] Hey watch it you two, alright
I went from Rome to Greece So I could play them at their games In 67 AD you know I won Olympic fame I told them to include a contest Based on poetry Not much good for sportsmen, no But brilliant for me
Crashed my racing chariot But still awarded gold Hey, my Olympics, my rules To argue would be bold I won every medal That was up for grabs The crowd loved it, well they had to Or I would have had them stabbed, OK
[All so far] Flame! [Nero] Olympic champion that's me My games were Emperor's own brand [All so far] Flame! [Nero] Think I was bad, in 393 Christian Rome had them banned
[All so far] It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
[Nero] Shame!
[Baron de Coubertin] Wait, not so fast!
I'm Baron de Coubertin A famous French historian I read of the Olympic Games Thought I should try restoring them They'd be just like the old days I said, but did propose That unlike Greeks, Victorians Should do them wearing clothes
In 1896 relaunched the games In dear old Greece Hoped it would make men more moral As well as less obese Rebuilt a stadium So we could start to play Games of the modern Olympics Which we still have today
[All so far] Flame! [Baron de Coubertin] I'm owed my personal glory But no-one remembers my name [All so far] Flame! [Baron de Coubertin] So here to finish our story A man who has gold plated fame
[Jesse Owens] I'm Jesse Owens Fastest man in 1936 I took home 4 gold medals, yeah But that's just the basics What you should know About the fact I was victorious Is, it made Herr Hitler mad Ha, it made him Führer-ious!
Hitler said Berlin should be The games' Germanic base So he could show the world Aryans were the master race I won in 4 events He had to back pedal His evil theory Destroyed with every medal
[All] Flame! It's gonna burn forever Olympics are never in doubt Flame! A fire of sporting endeavour [Greek Man 2] You realise it's actually gone out [All] Olympic, Olympic Flame!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
