Thread Name: Lyr Req: King Karactacus / Caractacus
Subject: RE: King Karactacus (?)
Since Wednesday this week, the Junior Gang (Cubs, Brownies, younger Scouts and younger Guides) of the Grimsby Gang Show have been performing this song on stage. We have two more performances to do today, a matinee and an evening show.

In our sketch, Caractacus is given full recognition, as in the line Hail Great Caractacus; son of Cunobelinus; king of the Catuvellauni; Chief among Chiefs of the tribes of Britannia

We are also singing "Old MacDonlad" in Latin, following a suggestion by Frank Maher in an earlier Mudcat lyric request thread, and the Gladiator song which I learnt from Dave Bryant at the 2004 Euro-gather.
