Plot
According to the scribes at a big movie studio with Fox in its logo, it is the big season at the track. While some of the boys are not doing so well it is rumored that the Ritz brothers are to make a big killing on a hay-burner named "Playboy,". Now it is also rumored that the nag is owned by Barbara Drake. It is further mused around that she has a rich father who goes by the moniker of Mr. Drake. However, he is otherwise known to all and sundry as 'The Grump' as he is always ready to share his disposition with any unlucky citizen that may wander by. Barbara is sweet on a guy named Denny who is an all-around good citizen, who also likes Barbara in return. Barbara is jealous of a torch singer named Linda. Denny does not care to run in competition with any hay-burner and makes it plain that he has no intentions to share his girl's ever-loving affection with "Playboy." Denny wagers Barbara that her horse will not win a race in three months. If he does Denny will build him a stable right off their bedroom but if he fails to win, she has to give him "Playboy." "Playboy" is entered in many races and not only does he not win he doesn't even break a sweat. Denny gives "Playboy" to the Ritzies, and this irritates Barbara. But the Ritzies do not have the money to enter "Playboy" in the big Southbury Sweepstakes, and Linda seeks to buy an interest in "Playboy." The brothers have promised Denny they will not sell the horse to her, but they have a counter-offer.

Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca (247 – 183/182 BC) was a Punic Carthaginian military commander and tactician, generally considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was the leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War, his younger brothers were Mago and Hasdrubal, and he was brother-in-law to Hasdrubal the Fair.
Hannibal lived during a period of great tension in the Mediterranean, when the Roman Republic established its supremacy over other great powers such as Carthage, the Hellenistic kingdoms of Macedon, Syracuse, and the Seleucid empire. One of his most famous achievements was at the outbreak of the Second Punic War, when he marched an army, which included war elephants, from Iberia over the Pyrenees and the Alps into northern Italy. In his first few years in Italy, he won three dramatic victories—Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae—and won over many allies of Rome. Hannibal occupied much of Italy for 15 years, but a Roman counter-invasion of North Africa forced him to return to Carthage, where he was decisively defeated by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama. Scipio had studied Hannibal's tactics and brilliantly devised some of his own, and finally defeated Rome's nemesis at Zama, having previously driven Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother, out of the Iberian Peninsula.
Ah ya e ya
Ah e yea ya
Oba ibo si areo
Ergua mala gura
obakoso cabiosile ache
Chorus:
With feasting and dancing and song
Tonight in celebration
We greet the victorious throng
Returned to bring salvation
The trumpets of Carthage resound
Hear, Romans, now and tremble
Hark to our step on the ground
Hear the drums - Hannibal comes
Piangi:
Sad to return to find the land we love
Threatened once more by Rome's far-reaching grasp
Tomorrow we shall break the chains of Rome
Tonight rejoice, your army has come home
Carlotta:
Once more to my welcoming arms
My love returns in splendor
Piangi:
Once more to those sweetest of charms
My heart and soul surrender
Chorus:
The trumpeting elephants sound
Hear, Romans, now and tremble
Hark to their step on the ground
Let the niggers burn down nigger town
Step aside for burning and looting
But if they set foot in Beverly Hills
Time brother, brother time to start shooting
Everything everybody has in their homes
Will be taken away next week Wednesday
And everything everybody ever believed
Will be disproved next week Friday
I'm going down to Hannibal
Going down to Hannibal
Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
Hitler never hurt a soul
I read it in a book
That I finished up just this morning
I was happy and I just couldn't wait to tell the good news
To all of my dead uncles
When they tore down the Berlin wall
Everybody danced
But between what I feel and what I say
There's a thirty foot barbed wire fence
I'm going down to Hannibal
Going down to Hannibal
Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
The world is one big cosmic joke
Played on me, I hear
As soon as I leave this room
All of you are going to disappear
Time begins to bend and shift
Maybe you haven't noticed
But just the other day a man in Washington state
Admitted killing Jesus
I'm going down to Hannibal
Going down to Hannibal
Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
I'm six foot tall and 180 lbs
I can punch through a wall with my fist
But I don't understand how with just one kiss
You can wrap me around your finger
You can wrap me around your wrist
Everybody who has ever ever been alive
Is alive today in Georgia
As for the rest of us, I don't even know who we are
It's a mystery I guess
I'm going down to Hannibal
Going down to Hannibal
Gonna buy a new suit of clothes
You see, everything I know, I learned from my dad
He learned it all from his
And his dad just happened to be
Wrong about everything
I'm going down to Hannibal
I'm gonna buy a new suit of clothes
I'm going to wear three neckties
You're going to help with the bows
You're going to help with the bows
God is in my head
The lord is in my heart and in my head
Faith inside myself, believe is what I got inside myself
Power in my guts, heavy metal power in my guts
Heat is in my mind, fire in my eyes and in my mind
Did you make me strong
Yes you make me strong
Nobody else but you could have the power
To make me so strong
War is on my way, there's a bloody trace right on my way
He was telling me, I got to rule the world with heresy
Hear me what I say, cause I'm the only prophet of the final day
There's no need to pray
I got the order Kill 'em all
Hannibal prepares you for the meal
Hannibal see the glaring steel
Hannibal is your final fall
She's had four since he last saw her
But she keeps it to herself
He wonders how he's gonna tell her
He wishes he was seeing someone else
He won't tell, but he still needs her
That it helps him go around
When he gets home, the house feels empty
From the bed, from the bedroom to the ground
Sometimes when she goes out
Sometimes she goes, when she goes
She knows, sometimes she goes out
Atemlos zerrinnt der Augenblick,
das Schweigen irrt blind durch die Nacht,
hoffnungslos verdirbt der Weg zurück,
es versinken die Hufe der Pferde im Sand.
Jeder Tag schneidet Falten ins Gesicht,
das Raunen des Wassers stürzt dort zu Tal,
die starre Hand zündet an das Kerzenlicht,
teilt die kalten Nebel zum tausendsten Mal.
Hannibal, zieh die Gondeln über's Eis,
spring' in den magischen Kreis,
richt' die Augen dort ins Sonnenlicht!
Hannibal, bau' die Pyramidenstadt,
sei eine Sprosse im ewigen Rad,
sei ein Ritter der neuen Zeit!
Herrenlos flieht der Wind dahin,
die Krallen der geier erstarr'n wie zum Schwur,
willenlols sieht man sie zu den Klippen zieh'n,
Feuerschwaden erhellen das Land.
Hannibal...
Carlotta:
This trophy
From our saviors
From our saviors
From the enslaving force
Of Rome!
Chorus:
With feasting and dancing and song
Tonight in celebration
We greet the victorious throng
Returned to bring salvation
The trumpet of carthage resound
Hear, Romans, now and tremble
Hark to our step on ground
Hear the drums!
Hannibal comes!
Piangi/Hannibal:
Sad to return
To find the land we love
Threatened once more
By Roma's far-reaching grasp
