Текст (слова) песни: The Foghat - Soakin` The Bone
Peverett - Loentz Music - ASCAP
Where was Nero when Rome burned? He wasn`t worried `bout the flames. The cat didn`t play no fiddle, he had his mind on better games. He was down in the cellar with a girl he called B-Betty Lou, Drinking juice from the grape vine, Chianti BC `52. The Roman city was burnin`, but Nero didn`t face it alone, He was soakin the bone, Just soakin` the bone, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` it.
Napoleon he said to Josie, "I`m gonna rule the world for a start." Josephine said, "Hey Nappy, you`re crazy! Would you rather shake it down Bonaparte?" The world was there to be conquered, Napoleon, he couldn`t leave home, `Cause he was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` it.
{Rod - Solo}
About the Spanish Armada, it didn`t faze Sir Francis Drake. 20,000 gun-totin` galleons, but Frankie didn`t quiver or quake. He was down on the beach head, rollin` in the pebbles and stones, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` it.
He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` the bone, He was soakin` it, Oh.
{Rod - Solo}
(Soakin the bone, gonna` wet the whistle a little bit)
