oyl60qg]The Mons Python Carminum Legionarii[/size]
Pythias:
I never wanted to do this job in the first place! I... I wanted to be... a Legionarius!
Subduing tribe after tribe, as they flow across the mighty Limes of Germania Superior:
The giant Gothii. The Ligurii. The Fir Bolgi! The mighty Scottish Pictii! The lofty flowering Celtii! The plucky little Assyrii! The limping Latrunculi of Numidia. The towering Woadii of Britannia Inferior! The Mauretanian Weeping Water Pirate! The naughty Langobardian Flashing Footman! The flatulent Aegyptii of Africa! The Quercus Maximus Bamber Gallicae! The Epigillus Sarmatius! The Bartus Colossus Verdans!
With my best buddy by my side, we'd sing! Sing! Sing! ...
I'm a legionnaire, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I fight all day.
Contubernium:
He's a legionnaire, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he fights all day.
Pythias:
I cut down foes. I eat my figs.
I go to the latrina.
On feast days I go shopping
And have pig tits Dulcia.
Contubernium:

He's a legionnaire, and he's okay.

Pythias:
I cut down foes. I skip and jump.
I like to worship Mars.
I put on yellow tunics
And hang around in baths.
Contubernium:
He cuts down foes. He skips and jumps.
He likes to worship Mars.
He puts on yellow tunics
And hangs around in baths?!
He's a legionnaire, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he fights all day.
Pythias:
I cut down foes, wear Kothornoi,
Himation and Peplos.
I wish I'd been a Graecus,
Just like my Pater was.
Contubernium:
He cuts down foes, wears Cothurnae?!
Himation? And Peplos?!
- What's this? Wants to be a Greek?
- Oh, my!
- And I thought you were so rugged!
- Poofter!
He's a legionnaire, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he fights all day.
He's a legionnaire, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he fights all day.
Omnes:
Legionarius sum et bonus sum.
Age bellum et canta mecum!
Legionarius sum et bonus suuuum.
Age bellum et canta mecum!
(P.S.: Remember a proper Latin pronounciation on words like "dulcia" etc, or it won't even scan plus you'll seem like a despicable barbarian!)
