Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
If I had to take the choice between
the deaf man 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 sailin'
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 it's mind
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine.
Laying down my treasure
before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell,
hoped 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 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 I was
heading down the road.
Heading down the road,
Forty thousand headmen on my
