I'll hide from the natives, live only on rum 

I'm selling my memoirs, I'm writing it down 
If no one will pay me I'll burn down the town 
I'll rent out an aircraft and print on the sky 
If God likes my story then maybe he'll buy

She's swallowed my secret, and taken my name

To follow my footsteps   and knobble me lame
