Back To The Days Of The Romans Lyrics

Let me save thee, save thee from the den of iniquity
Let me save thee; we're repeating Roman hist'ry
Our mysteries on pencil & paper to touch a way of livin'
It's not in the bag, honey, I'll bunch & sag; the Romans did it
But I'll give you moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight
Like initials on a tree, saying that you love me

CHORUS:
Back to the days of the Romans, baby, that's where we're goin'
(That's where we're goin') that's where we're goin'
Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah

Let me save thee from walkin' the path of least resistance
Let me save thee, baby don't laugh with the Devil's existence
Those were fine, they were havin' some time
When Caesar lost his handle
I prayed for all, they were havin' a ball
On women & scare 'em
But I'll give you moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight
Like initials on a tree, saying that you love me

(chorus)

Moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight
Moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight

(chorus x2)

(repeat & fade):
Sing hallelujah
