The gold, the gold, the gold
The gold, the gold in Africa
Mussolini want from the Emperor
Abyssinia appealed to the league for peace
Mussolini's action was like a beast
A villain, a thief, a highway robber
And a shameless dog for a dictator
He crossed the border and added more
The Emperor had no intentions for war
That man I call a criminal
The man destroyed churches and hospitals
He said expansion he really need
He has 45 million heads to feed
Why he don't attack the Japanese
England, France or. hang on, on Germany?
The man want to kill King Haile Selassie
To enslave his territory
They began to cry for food and water
In that burning deserts of Africa
We have diamond, ruby and pearl
Platinum, silver and even gold
I don't know why the man making so much strife
I now believe he want Haile Selassie's wife
If he want gold as a dictator
Try in Demarara
Venezuela or Canada
Austro Hungary or else in America
