Roman Inventions Lyrics

The roman army needed to travel fast

So fast

They couldn't get anywhere on their windy muddy paths

Windy paths

So what did they do? They built long straight roads

To march lots of soldiers and to carry big loads

Laying down bricks and lots of rubble

Helped the romans stay out of trouble

And their rule will be unending

If the Romans keep inventing

Who built a big empire

The Romans did

That stretched around the Mediterranean sea

Who solved their tough problems

The Romans did

By inventing and improving their technology

Hold on, technology, isn't that to do with computers and stuff

Yes but the word technology is for anything

that uses new ideas to solve problems

Using Science to develop new tools and equipment

Look! That house looks warm

That's underfloor heating

And That house looks cold

That's the first air conditioning

They'd been struggling to count

So they wrote some new numbers

Made a new calendar

To track the number of summers

When it burnt down, they needed to rebuild Rome

Rebuild Rome

And in the new city build an epic Pantheon Dome

Pantheon Dome

So what did they do? They invented concrete

To rebuild every house on the street

Made from volcanic rock, this magic mortar

That worked above ground and underwater

And their rule will be unending

If the Romans keep inventing

Who built a big empire

The Romans did

That stretched around the Mediterranean sea

Who solved their tough problems

The Romans did

By inventing and improving their technology

Who built a big empire

The Romans did

That stretched around the Mediterranean sea

Who solved their tough problems

The Romans did

By inventing and improving their technology
