lyrics

Oh I wanna be a smuggler
Smuggle by day
Drink by night
Hey hey hey!
Oh I wanna be a smuggler
Travel from town to town
Casin' your mansions and stealing your antiquities!

Riding on the railway, headed for the coast
Steamer ships across the sea, now I don't like to boast
But we're the baddest band of smugglers you ever have seen
Taking this and taking that and trading for the green

I don't want a safe roof and an early bed
Cornered on a midnight run, you might just lose your head
But when you're the best, all the rest can take a flying leap
You'll never have to worry about dying in your sleep
