How does a bastard, orphan, son of a w**re
And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
In the Caribbean by providence impoverished
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
The ten-dollar founding father without a father,
Got a lot farther, by working a lot harder,
By being a lot smarter,
By being a self-starter,
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter.
Beware Mangle, he'll leave your brains scrambled
You could say he's got a couple wires tangled
He likes surprising you from a higher angle
Keep an eye above ya, cause it's where he likes to dangle
When you're gone, I'll go mad
So don't throw away this thing we had
'Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love
