 (Riff 2,2a)
 Where was Nero when Rome burned
 He wasn't worried 'bout the flames
 The cat didn't play no fiddle
 He had his mind on better games

 (Riff 2,2a)
 He was down in the cellar
 With a girl he called B-Betty Lou
 Drinking juice from the grape vine
 Chianti BC '52

   E
 The Roman city was burnin'
      E
 But Nero didn't face it alone

 (Riff 1)
 He was soakin the bone
 Just soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' it

(Riff 2a - 4x)

 (Riff 2,2a)
 Napoleon he said to Josie
 I'm gonna rule the world for a start
 Josephine said Nappy you're crazy
 Would you rather shake it down Bonaparte

      E
 The world was there to be conquered,
     E
 Napoleon, he couldn't leave home

 (Riff 1)
 He was soakin the bone
 Just soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' it

(Instrumental) - D B D F# D B D Ending of Riff 1

 (Riff 2,2a)
 About the Spanish Armada
 It didn't faze Sir Francis Drake
 20,000 gun-totin' galleons
 But Frankie didn't quiver or quake

    E
 He was down on the beachead
    E
 Rollin' in the pebbles and stones

 (Riff 1)
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' it

 (Riff 1)
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' the bone
 He was soakin' it

 (End with ending of riff 1)
