[00:04.66]Nero was a king you know
[00:06.76]Many many years ago
[00:08.80]Nero loved his music so
[00:10.91]Bought a fiddle and a bow
[00:13.04]Room enough for Nero
[00:15.25]No he never was a hero
[00:17.23]Rome was burnt to zero
[00:19.16]Still he fiddled away
[00:21.27]To his soldiers he said
[00:23.27]"I'm busy having a big time
[00:25.27]With my Latin in jig time
[00:27.40]What survives today
[00:29.36]So Nero never went to town
[00:31.65]While Rome was burning down
[00:33.68]They watched him in dismay
[00:35.52]Fiddle fiddle fiddle away
[00:37.37]Oh Rome meant nothin' to Nero
