Well I heard her scream
From the tower above
My heart it wanted to help
But the soldiers' who guard her with their lives
Would surely stop my attempt

Well, a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do (x2)

I scaled the wall
At night after dark
The coast was o' so clear
When I reached
The young maiden's cell
My heart was o' so near

Well, a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do (x2)

As we made off
Into the night
My maiden in my arms
I said it might be just like the movies
Eat your heart out Errol Flynn!

Well, a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do(x6)
