Alfred man, peaceful man — Alfred man, he's a dreaded man
Alfred man, peaceful man — Alfred man, he's a dreaded man
Oh, we say peace and dynamite
All of them in one trophy, we say peace and dynamite, oh yeah
We say peace and dynamite
All of them in one trophy, we say peace and dynamite, oh yeah
Who is the most peaceful, but most dreaded? Alfred man
Most peaceful, I say — but well dreaded, I say
Who is the most peaceful, but well dreaded? Alfred man
Most peaceful, but well dreaded, I say
Oh Lord, the merchant of death has died
The merchant of death has died
The merchant of death has died
The merchant of death has died
Check your calendar, 1886
Check your calendar, 1886
The merchant of death, the merchant of death has died
Injection — one, two, go!
Alfred man, peaceful man
Alfred man, he's a dreaded man
Alfred man, peaceful man
Alfred man, he's a dreaded man
Oh, we say peace and dynamite — all of them in one trophy, we say peace and dynamite, oh yeah
Peace and dynamite — all of them in one trophy, we say peace and dynamite, oh yeah
Dreaded man, dreaded man, dreaded man, dreaded man
We say peace and dynamite, all of them in one trophy
We say peace and dynamite, oh yeah
Peace and dynamite, all of them in one trophy
Peace and dynamite, oh yeah!
