I. Come to the ancient town where Lies a tiny round square And far off there is an inn Push the old heavy oaken door And inside you see once more Dimly illumined hall
Sit on the small 'n clumsy cask Light a pipe and wait for us We are near, on the way (To buy beer is your task) Now you know that we are in Coal-black capes you just have seen By a brief snaky glimpse
* Wild-cat is my life now No matter I live low But free play I have Free flight is better than torture I got the fortune That Label gave
** Black label on me… (That's right and) Black label on you…(Black label on you) Know how it feels (Show your will) To take all the due (To take all the due)
Black label inside… (Inside me) Black label within…(Black label within) I live as I want (As I want) Though I'm not that clean (Though I'm not that clean)
*** Eerie lane Rouses fear Shadow slips I draw near
Shadow slips I'm here
II. Listen to what we now say Do not think to turn away Think about and hold your tongue
There is a job that cannot wait Slightly dangerous but great Worthwhile deal is what you want
Be at the city hall tonight You will meet our faithful guide Down the sewerage then you go (Just a few steps then turn aside) Out of tunnels you will see The stone building of the Guild Use your lockpicking skill
* Starlight is my companion The cloak I have on Is a certain sign All ways are opened before me Don't ask why I do this Black label knows why
** Black label on me… (That's right and) Black label on you…(Black label on you) Know how it feels (Show your will) To take all the due (To take all the due)
Black label inside… (Inside me) Black label within…(Black label within) I live as I want (As I want) Though I'm not that clean (Though I'm not that clean)
**** Black label's my life My legerdemain (My legerdemain) Black label's my dice My absolute fame (My absolute fame) Black label I love It's my matrimony (It's my matrimony) Black label I have Sign in my hand sworn me in (Sign in my hand sworn me in)
