Fourty Thousand Headman

40,000 headmen, they 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
So I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea

Hadn't traveled very far, when suddenly I saw
Three small ships are 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

They're filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
Well, I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
But 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"

Well, I turned around and 40,000 headmen hit the dirt
Firing 20 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

Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Rolling and rumbling
Rolling and rumbling
Rolling and rumbling
With 40,000 headmen on my tail
40,000 headmen on my tail
Thank you
