It's Just My Little Tribute To Caligula, Darling!

BILLIE
Do you like my new look?
It’s very classical, don’t you think?
It’s just my little tribute to Caligula, Darling!
Haven’t you seen the movie?
It’s a masterpiece
ALL
That history of sex, I love it
Caligula was a bastard like most important men
And over the years
I’ve known quite a few of them I’d wish I’d poisoned
As my little tribute to Caligula, Darling!
It’s just my little tribute to Caligula, Darling!
He was a Roman Emperor
Which makes him almost certainly bisexual
If not actually gay
But then so many men are that way inclined
Don’t you find?
I mean can you believe it, he’s straight?
It’s just my little tribute to Caligula, Darling!
Murder and mayhem in the eternal city
Poison and torture he knew no pity
Pain is always best inflicted at home
Down in your dungeon lie back and think of Rome
It’s just my little tribute to Caligula, Darling!
