[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Ten million stories in the city, ten million backs against the wall
Desperation's out tonight, you can cut it with a knife
Everybody wants to have it all
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough
[Rhy. Fig 5a]
Hey little Caesar, nobody messing with you
Hey little Caesar, go show 'em what you can do
[Rhy. Fig 6]
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Nobody said that it was pretty, you haven't got a penny or a prayer
You know it's gonna be a fight, if you wanna see your name in lights
Ain't nobody gives a damn out there
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Well you got your guts, you got your pride
But you'll never let them see inside
[Rhy. Fig 5a]
Hey little Caesar, nobody messing with you
Hey little Caesar, go show 'em what you can do
[Rhy. Fig 7 w/ Rhy. Fig 8]
You¥ll show them what you can do
Well you don't believe in the books and rules
'Cause you just believe in what you know is cool
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough - I can't hear you
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Riff 2]
They just don't understand, you gotta fight to be a man
[Rhy. Fig 5a]
Hey little Caesar, nobody messing with you
Hey little Caesar, go show 'em what you can do
[Rhy. Fig 5b]
Hey little Caesar, oh yeah, that's what it is
Hey little Caesar, yeah
Oooh
[Rhy. Fig 5c w/ Riff 3]
Ooh, oh, woah
Hey little Caesar, alright
You gotaa show 'em, yeah
