Horrible Histories - Cleopatra lyrics

rate me

Ra, ra, Cleopatra!

Famous beauty coming at ya!

Ra ra, patra Cleo!

Guys all go gaga for me-o!

I am a leader

And a lady and a queen

I'm Cleopatra

Such a queen, never been seen

I am a pharoah

Yet they're-o meant to be guys

But I don't care-o

I just wear-o beard disguise

My mum and dad were pharoahs

I thought my rule's due

But both my older sisters

Thought that they should rule too

Oh dear, they both died!

I wonder who that would leave

Little me-o, pharoah Cleo?

Okay, no time to grieve!

Think that's alarming, you'd be right

But it gets worse

Married my half brother

And we ruled the universe

That bad romance

Led to an overcrowded throne

But then he died, boo-hoo

So now I rule alone

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

All hail lady Cleo!

Wah, wah, wah, la, la

Coolest pharoah by far!

Fashion topped my list of vices

Bathed in asses' milk and spices

Then I dressed like goddess Isis

Long, black hair in ringlets nicest

Viper's tooth for men entices

Finest linen robe, top prices!

Married another brother

He's an okay geezer

But never told

Of my love for Julius Caesar

Had Caesar's child and hoped

That he'd be crowned king

My bro said no, I said 'Oh!'

And I murdered him

'Cause I am Cleopatra

Egypt's royalty

The ruling pharoah, don't you dare-o

Mess with me!

My pokerface smiles

Only when I see

A man who takes my fancy like

Oh! Mark Antony!

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Another Roman leader

Wah, wah, wah, la, la

No Egyptian crowd pleaser

Ra, ra, Cleopatra!

Finally, I'd met my matcher!

Ra, ra, patra Cleo!

Ends in death for him and me-o!

My life was a drama

I was one kooky mama!

Wah, wah, wah, you know

Today I'd be a favourite of the

Paparazzo!
