Little Caesar Lyrics
My name is Little Caesar
My friends call me L.C
My daddy's named the same
And passed it on to me
I'm the kinda guy who by and by
Who wants to be your friend
I'll make you a happy ending
I loop the loop
I do it good
I've been called a lot of names
Some of them obscene
But you think I'm funny
And wonder about me
I don't worry anymore
Get uptight or fear
Back in the days of funny funny
They called me queer
They used to call me
They called me rudely
I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kind of fella
A good time gentleman
Perform my magic for ya
Then I'll make my plan
When I'm gone you'll feel so low
Obsession out of hand
You'll find I'll linger in your mind
You can't forgive me
You won't forget me
You can't live with me
Can't live without me
You'll find there's not enough
And that you love too much
You can't live with me
My friends call me L.C
My daddy's named the same
And passed it on to me
I'm the kinda guy who by and by
Who wants to be your friend
I'll make you a happy ending
I loop the loop
I do it good
I've been called a lot of names
Some of them obscene
But you think I'm funny
And wonder about me
I don't worry anymore
Get uptight or fear
Back in the days of funny funny
They called me queer
They used to call me
They called me rudely
I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kind of fella
A good time gentleman
Perform my magic for ya
Then I'll make my plan
When I'm gone you'll feel so low
Obsession out of hand
You'll find I'll linger in your mind
You can't forgive me
You won't forget me
You can't live with me
Can't live without me
You'll find there's not enough
And that you love too much
You can't live with me
You can't live with me
Can't live without me
Just call me Caesar
You can't forgive me
You won't forget me
I'm Little Caesar, yeah
Can't live without me
Just call me Caesar
You can't forgive me
You won't forget me
I'm Little Caesar, yeah

Genius Annotation
Blondie wrote “Little Caesar” not about the pizza chain, but the dancer, musician, and actor Eric Emerson, who was a good friend of the original lineup during their early days. One of Andy Warhol’s superstars, he was openly bisexual and had three children, one with a member of Debbie’s former girl-group The Stillettoes. He was killed in a bicycle accident in 1975 at only 29 years old.
