((Alaric (Germania) is our Greek chorus for the evening. Cleo (Cleopatra) is the name I have given Ancient Egypt. I was unsure on who to make her husband, so it's her male counterpart.))

Alaric: There's nothing like summer in the city

Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it
And Alexander's by himself. I'll let him tell it

Romulus: I hadn't slept in a week

I was weak, I was awake
You never seen someone
More in need of a break
Longing for Pandora
Missing my wife
That's when Miss Cleo Hassan walked into my life, she said:

Cleo: I know you are a man of honor

I'm so sorry to bother you at home
But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone...  

Romulus: She said:

Cleo: My husband's doin' me wrong

Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me...
Suddenly he's up and gone
I don't have the means to go on

Romulus: So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said:

Cleo: You're too kind, sir

Romulus: I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away

She lived a block away, she said:

Cleo: This one's mine, sir 

Romulus: Then I said, "well, I should head back home,"

She turned red, she led me to her bed
Let her legs spread and said:

Cleo: Stay? 

Romulus: Hey...

Cleo: Hey...

Romulus: That's when I began to pray:

Lord, show me how to
Say no to this
I don't know how to

Say no to this 

But my God, she looks so helpless
And her body's saying, "hell, yes"  

Cleo: Whoa...

Romulus: Nooo, show me how to

Alaric: Say no to this

Romulus: I don't know how to

Romulus/Alaric: Say no to this

Romulus:In my mind, I'm tryin' to go 

Alaric:Go! Go! Go! 

Romulus: Then her mouth is on mine, and I don't say... 

Alaric: No! No!

Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!
Say no to this!
No! No!

Say no to this!    

Romulus: I wish I could say that was the last time

I said that last time. It became a pastime
A month into this endeavor I received a letter
From a Mr. Chuma Hassan, even better, it said:

Chuma: Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health

And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided to

Romulus: Fuuuu— 

Chuma: Uh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a cuckold

So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled
And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife

If the price is right: if not I'm telling your wife

Romulus: I hid the letter and I raced to her place

Screamed "How could you?!" in her face

She said:

Cleo: No, sir!

Romulus: Half dressed, apologetic. A mess, she looked

Pathetic, she cried:

Cleo: Please don't go, sir!

Romulus: So was your whole story a setup? 

Cleo: I don't know about any letter!    

Romulus: Stop crying Goddamnit, get up!

Cleo: I didn't know any better!

Romulus: I am ruined...

Cleo: Please don't leave me with him helpless

Just give him what he wants and you can have me 

Romulus: I am helpless—how could I do this?

I don't want you

I don't want you

Cleo: If you pay

You can stay

Tonight

I don't...

Lord, show me how to
Say no to this
I don't know how to
Say no to this
Cuz the situation's helpless  

And her body's screaming, "Hell, yes"  

No, show me how to
Say no to this
How can I
Say no to this?
There is nowhere I can go

When her body's on mine I do not say...  

Alaric: Say no to this!

Say no to this!  

Say no to this!  

Say no to this!

Go! Go! Go!  

 No! 

Romulus: Yes

Cleo:Helpless

Romulus:Yes

Cleo: Whoa!

Romulus: Yes

Cleo: How can you

Say no to this?

Romulus: Yes 

Alaric: Say no to this!

No!  

Say no to this!

No!

Say no to this!
No!

Romulus: Say no to this...

I don't say no to this
There is nowhere I can go   

Cleo: Don't say no to this

Alaric: Go go go...

Chuma: So?

Romulus: Nobody needs to know
