Schoolhouse Rock Fill-In the blank
I have typed up the lyrics to 3 of the history songs (No More Kings, Shot Heard Round the World and the Preamble) but have removed certain words.

Ancient Greece and Rome Rap
This rap is a parody of the Notorious BIG song, Juicy. Here is a sample (I recommend you have an idea of how the original song goes):
"It was once all Crete
I used to read Homer’s Odyssey
Sailing boats off the Aegean Sea
Carving pictures on the wall
Every Persian Attack, and Phalanx won’t fall
Pericles let his vote rock 'til his the stones drops
Black and white rocks, helots in fields about to get crops
Way back, when they traded this and that
