Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
|
If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind
|
I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me
|
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
|
|
Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw
|
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore
|
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
|
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
|
|
Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
|
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
|
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind
|
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
|
|
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
|
Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late
|
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
|
And when I asked him who he was he said, 'Just look behind'
|
|
So I turned around and forty thousand headmen hit the dirt
|
Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt
|
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
|
And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road
