Up Pompeii Movie by Frankie Howerd Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1971

Look at the way it is today
It's getting out of hand
There's no decorum
In the forum
Depravity's surrounding me
I don't know where to turn
But give me time
And I'll soon learn
Oh Lurcio
Woe is Lurcio
Hang on a tick
While I touch up the prologue

Up Pompeii!
Up Pompeii!
I never seem to get it all
Up Pompeii!
Pompeii, salut
Naughty naughty
Up Pompeii!
Oh Skilatio
Flatulatio
It may sound tame
With a Latin name
But ooh!

Up Pompeii!
Up Pompeii!
I never ever get it all
Up Pompeii!
Up Pompeii!
I never seem to get it all
Up Pompeii!
Pompeii, salut
Naughty, naughty
Up Pompeii!

Look at the way it is today
It's getting out of hand
There's no decorum
In the forum
Depravity's surrounding me
I don't know where to turn
But give me time
And I'll soon learn
Oh Lurcio
Woe is Lurcio
Hang on a tick
While I touch up the prologue
Up Pompeii!
Up Pompeii!
I'm always out to get it all
Up Pompeii!
Pompeii, salut
Naughty naughty
Up Pompeii!

There's an awful lot
Who have gone to pot
And got an itch to roam
You should see 'em
In the Colosseum
And they're quite at home
In the Hippodrome
You can choose who you prefer
Because Ben Him looks like Ben Hur

Oh Skilatio
Flatulatio
It may sound tame
With a Latin name
But ooh!

Uuh, Uuh, Uuh, Uuh, Up Pompeii
Up Pompeii!
Why don't you come and get it all
Up Pompeii!
Pompeii, salut
Naughty naughty
Up Pompeii!
