Brutus, shouldn't you be celebrating?
Pompey's dead and gone
And Rome can finally move on
Caesar speaks, hush up for Caesar
Rome is free and all thanks to Caesar
Look at where we are, the war is won!
Oh won't you take it in?
And let the festival begin
Caesar speaks, we live for Caesar
Lupercalia, three cheers for Caesar
You know I fought under Pompey
And I forgive you (isn't he generous?)
And there's so much we must discuss
Believe me, I'm aware
Are you alright with this attention?
(Caesar, the bringer of victory!)
Today, I think that it's a plus
(Caesar for justice, he fights for us)
Brutus, can I say i really missed my friend?
It's our turn to finally change the tide
Don't you think that Rome deserves a new direction?
(But Caesar...) Brutus, can't you try to pick the winning side?
Say all that you will about Caesar
I think Brutus ought to decide
Come on, Brutus, Caesar's the victor
You heard us, choose the right side
No pressure though
Cassius!
Brutus!
What a morning this has turned out to be
I can see you and Caesar have been reacquainted
Indeed
So that's why you seem so elated
Are you running in the games?
The games?
Yes, the games, are you running in the race?
No way! I'm not Mark Antony
Good gods, Mark Antony
Let the people take the streets
Antony, Mark Antony
Let the trumpets sound for Caesar
Antony, Mark Antony
How glorious is this day?
These are moments that good men pray for
And I know they can never stay for long
So let's go dancing, the song's begun
Friends, romans, countrymen, today we chase the setting sun
So let's be joyful everyone
Caesar has been loyal to us, whatever Caesar says, it will be done
What do they see in him?
(So noble and kind!)
He's a sycophant!
(Sound heart and sound mind!)
He's just charming
I have doubts
He's innocent
Yeah right, for now
He's a true roman
Tell me how
Hello friends
Antony!
What are we talking about?
The games
The games?
You heard him
Oh, the games, I just can't wait
We all deserve to celebrate
And Brutus, you know, it's not too late to join
You make me laugh, Mark Antony (I do?)
You make everyone laugh (Cassius!)
What makes you think that you look serious next to Caesar?
I AM serious...
So am I, but you don't see me mingling with cobblers or poets
the lowest among us, I know it's because you are young
I am young, but I am wise
Caesar treats you like some prize
He doesn't!
So go on! tell me why this day has been politicized
Lupercalia, a day of many blessings
Including senators getting along
Though, there's one more thing in need of some addressing
Antony is true, and if you think otherwise, then you'd be wrong
Thank you, sir
No thanks necessary, I'm just standing by my friend
I'm sticking with you till the end
(Caesar speaks, hush up for Caesar)
(Rome is free and all thanks to Caesar)
Now where's my wife Calphurnia?
I was with her a minute ago
Nonetheless, I miss her so
(Caesar speaks, how sweet is Caesar)
(Lupercalia, feast day for Caesar)
Here I am!
Oh there you are!
Isn't this something?
This is wonderful, of course, but there is one thing
Perhaps you should consider even half a day of rest
Well, let me think... (Caesar...)
Hmm, nope (I tried my best)
Just look at us all together again
Now Mark
Yes, sir?
The elders, the men who have run this racecreated a sacred tradition
And I have a mission for you
Whatever you say, it's done
Now, Antony, when you run
Make sure you touch Calphurnia's hand
It's important, please understand
If Calphurnia stands in your way in this race of fertility
She would be barren no longer
Caesar
I want to be a father (a father)
I promise I'll make you proud
I trust you won't let me down (A child? you've gone too far, you've enough to take care of)
Imagine a mini-me running around (Caesar, make way for caesar)
You know it's more than that
A father must be there
Brutus!
No, you don't want to have a son
You wish to sire an heir
