| Lyrics » |
40,000 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 towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave
Where they obviously stashed the loot
Filling up my pockets even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a 100 lbs 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 40,000 headmen bit the dirt
Firing 20 shotguns each and man it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then re-load
And by the time they'd done that
I was heading down the road
