there was little leopard and he just long to be
a roman gladiator fighting to be free
he made himself a hat that was made of tin
then made a little sword very long and thin.

he entered the arena  ready to begin
looking for a fight hoping he could win
then began the battle  the crowd began to roar
leopard he had won and the crowd all yelled for more.

he had won his freedom and his life was free
a gladiator now just like he longed to be.
