Is that a fact?
How can we know?
Where is the evidence?
What does it show?
How can we tell if itâs really so?
Is that a fact?
Romulus and Remus
Abandoned twins
Saved by a wolf
(With her teeth in a grin!)
That's where the story of Rome it beginsâŠ
Is that a fact?
Julius Caesar
To Britain he came
âCame, saw and conqueredâ
For glory and fame
Then he went home. Then he came back again!
Is that a fact?
Emperor Claudius
Invades us for sure
Thousands of soldiers
(An army at war)
March across Britain, invading some moreâŠ
Is that a fact?
Over in Rome
Emperor Neroâs in trouble
Kills half his family and friends
At the double
Then watches Rome burn to a pile of old rubble!
Is that a fact?
Elsewhere in Italy
In a town called Pompeii
Citizens relaxing
And working one day
When Volcano Vesuvius blows them awayâŠ
Is that a fact?
Back here in Britain
Hadrian builds up a wall
Stands up for Empire
So long, wide and tall
But walls are like empires, they rise and they fallâŠ
Is that a fact?
Lifeâs full of stories
And tales of whoâs who
Some parts imagined
And some parts are true
Past ancient Romans, to future times tooâŠ
Is that a fact?
Is that a fact�
Is that a fact�
Is that a fact�
