| 190. Barbarians Oh Anthony! Oh Anthony! The leader of our gang Where or where are the maidens And the riches of which you sang? We’ve spent ten fortnights marching Over mountains and the deep cold snow Following your direction without question Never knowing where next we were to go Our numbers have dwindled quickly Twice more of us were there before today Replacements did not arrive as you promised Others left preferring not to stay They say we are barbarians Destroying all in our wide path But we truly are just land pirates Spreading terror with murderous wrath So beware our leader we hold so dear Who has not done as he said As pirates we only want our booty A woman and some place to lay our head Fill our pockets and our pants For time is surely wasting Unless we close this day with a smile Your blood the vultures will be tasting |
