This is based on a story Karl Pilkington told on the XFM radio show. From Pilkipedia: "Karl tries to convince Ricky and Steve that a man who had his head chopped off not only continued to live, but walked along a white line for 32 steps before dying." After Ricky says it's impossible, Karl replies, "What do you reckon you can do then without a head?"

Lyrics

I must confess
I'm perplexed
cos I walked 32 steps
without a head

Without a head ...

I crossed the white line
just in time
and then collapsed
and they all clapped:
the one-eyed jailer
the executioner
the judge with the
black cloth on his head

On his head ...

Now I'm dead, without a head
but as I always said,
"I can walk 32 steps
without a head"

Without a head ...
