[Intro]
Yahoo!
[Verse 1]
As I was riding through the canyon the other day
Indians were following me and there were three of them
I spurred my stallion
But they caught me and I was lost
Two of them had bows and arrows and one had a hatchet
And I knew they were dead keen on my scalp
[Chorus]
They said: "You can leave, but your scalp stays here
You can leave, but your scalp stays here"
We arrived at their village and there they said to me
They said: "You can leave, but your scalp stays hеre"
[Interlude]
Yahoo!
[Verse 2]
No wonder I found this outrageous
And I said: "Gеntlemen, this is a free country
You are welcome to discuss this with my lawyer"
And the redskins started to laugh
They declared that they wouldn't give a shit about my opinion
And they tied me to the stake
[Chorus]
"You can leave, but your scalp stays here
You can leave, but your scalp stays here"
They gave me an ultimatum until four, they said:
"You can leave, but your scalp stays here"
[Verse 3]
Then they left me standing there all alone
And I didn't miss this chance to escape
Ich bit my bonds in two and I started running
And I knew my chances were not exactly high
An Indian threw himself on me so that I fell
It was like a rugby game
[Chorus]
"You can leave, but your scalp stays here
You can leave, but your scalp stays here"
He fought like a tiger in his greed
He said: "You can leave, but your scalp stays here"
[Interlude]
Booh!
[Bridge]
But everything I did was absolutely in vain
And I think to myself, that's the way the cookie crumbles
Some days you feel bad, some days you feel good
I for one always wear a hat now
[Chorus]
"You can leave, but your scalp stays here
You can leave, but your scalp stays here
You can leave, you can leave"
He said: "You can leave, but your scalp stays here"
