40000 Headmen Lyrics

40000 Headmen lyrics

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 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 that I was heading down the road
