Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mindIf I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blindI know just where my feet should go and that's enough for meI turned around and knocked them downAnd walked across the sea.Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I sawThree small ships a sailin' towards a distant shoreSo lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuitAnd found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their lootFilling up my pockets even stuffed it up my noseI must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toesI ventured forth before the dawn had time to change it's mindAnd soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine.Laying down my treasure before the iron gateQuickly rang the bell, hoped I hadn't come too lateBut someone came along and told me not to waste my timeAnd when I asked him who he was he said "Just look behind"So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirtFiring twenty shotguns each and man it really hurtBut luckily for me they had to stop and then reloadAnd by the time they'd done I was heading down the road.Heading down the road,Forty thousand headmen on my trail Aus Songtexte Mania
