Lyrics:Winwood/Capaldi Music:Winwood/Capaldi | |
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 |
Lyrics: Winwood Capaldi Music: Winwood Capaldi | |
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 asailing 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 |
