Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Gladiator Song (Bruce Campbell)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Roman Gladiator (Dave Houlden)
Tom Boulding, landlord of Fagan´s Broad Lane Sheffield (a great session pub) has a version which included a chorus of "sinister dexter, sinister dexter".
And somewhere around verse four he would say:
Roman soldier goes into a bar and asks for a martinus.
Barman says "Don´t you mean Martini?"
"If I want more than one, I´ll tell you."
And with perfect timing as the laughter died down Tom would say:
"You can tell the ones educated at grammar school!"
