40,000 Headmen

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
