Gather 'round people gonna tell you a tale 'Bout the time that the clocks all quit and the government failed Back when the agents tracked all the postmen down And they found all they needed to know in the second-class mail And then hauled off everyone 'cept for me and a couple of friends They forgot in the Nottingham jail Now that jailor, he saw all the smoke in the air And he wished he was there 'Stead of inside watching our cell So we said "Go do your share, we ain't goin' nowhere" He agreed, grabbed his gun with a smile and then wished us all well 'Fore he got to his car, we had cut through the bars Snuck outside and sat back just to watch 'Til the curtain fell. Now the first thing I noticed when we hit the street Was the Seventh Fleet They was cruisin' the center of town No one seemed real clear 'bout who had sent them there But they sure looked grand With the band, the balloons and the clowns (I love a parade) And they played "Anchors away" for the rest of the day 'Cept the times that they'd lower their guns And shoot some renegade down Yes and John the Baptist and Uncle Sam They were carryin' the plans For some new kind of object of faith When all of a sudden this renegade band with their guns in their hands Stopped them both and demanded a look In the top secret case But just in the nick of time Those renegades were stricken blind By a low flying plane with no name and no number to trace But just the same John lost his head And he said he was going to run But someone held him down and Sam tied up his hands He cried out to his boss but he couldn't get across 'Cause the lines were all down And the crowd cheered him on from the stands But he finally did get away You can see him today He sells silver plates and still waits For the boss to call back And Attila the Hun and his Austrian son Left their hideout in Rio to fly out and relive the past Sam he showed 'em around when they got into town But he warned 'em the rules had been changed Since they'd played the game last Ol' Attila just grinned and winked at his friend I forget what went down after that It all happened so fast Yes it was lookin' real bad, any luck that we'd had Had been lost in the park after dark When the army arrived ... big trouble y'know, cause They was sweeping the town chasing renegades down There were no friends to be found There was no place at all left to hide And the Austrian son he was having some fun He'd been put in command of the camps And his prisoners all died ...
