Lyrics

I am Hernando Cortez
Soon you will know me so well
I'm a bounder, a cheat
And let me repeat
I am Hernando Cortez

I am the fair Aztec princess
Your ways seem foreign to me
I'm scantily clad
And you are a cad
Oh, what will become of poor me?

I'm gonna steal all your gold from you
Then I'll pillage a village or two
You're gonna wish that I was through
I'm tellin' you

And when there's no more gold in the land
I'm gonna show ya the back of my hand
I'm Chris Columbus' biggest fan
A-yeah, man

Ol' Montezuma's got nothin' on me
I'm the Spaniard with the planiard, it's plain to see
From Timbuktoo to Timbuckthree
I'm the terror of the seven seas

Tried to raise my son right
I gave him all that he needed
Then he went off to fight
Now the Aztecs have all been defeated

Oh, mammy, that's such a sad story
Oh, mammy, your little boy's sorry

Poor Montezuma, I guess things just happen that way
Poor Montezuma, he'll have his revenge
He'll have his revenge
Yes, he'll have his revenge
Someday
