There's a man goin' 'round takin' names   Well, there's a man goin' 'round takin' names   He took my father's name and he left my heart in pain   There's a man goin' 'round takin' names      An' he took that liar's name, takin' names   He took that liar's name, takin' names   He took that liar's name, his tongue got twisted and it died in shame   There's a man goin' 'round takin' names      When the child saw the man takin' names   What a funny, what a funny game, takin' names   He took his brother's name and he took his father's name   When the child saw the man takin' names      And there's a King on the throne takin' names   There's a King on the throne and he's takin' names   And there's a priest in flames and the court's gone insane   And the King's sittin' there takin' names      I had a dream, I had a dream   I had a dream last night that worried me, it worried me   Trees were bending, people were trembling   I had a dream that worried me, that worried me, that worried me      There's a man goin' 'round takin' names   There's a man goin' 'round takin' names   He took my father's name and he left me there in pain   There's a man goin' 'round takin' names
