Thanks to Wade Paschall  for writing 
out the lyrics

intro - E A E A E A E A

E A E A
Someone's eating goat's head soup, the night is warm
E A E E A
Life could be so simple and so good, good, good
E A E A
Here come the crazy Frenchmen, hoisting their new device
E A E E A
Soon they're going to hack us down like ri...i... ce

CHORUS

E A E A
(Ahh-oop) (Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe Guillotine of Guadeloupe

E A E E A
(Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe swings down, down, down
E E A
Swings down, down, down

See the sea surrounding us, reflecting the golden sun
That brought that ships that make us run, run, run
And here come the crazy foreigner, with the queen's advice
Soon they're going to hack us down like rice, yeah

(Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe
(Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe
(Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe swings down, down, down
Swings down, down, down, yeah

Repeat intro

Guillotine of Guadeloupe
Guillotine of Guadeloupe
Guillotine of Guadeloupe swings down, down, down
Swings down, down, down

Come on baby hold me, one last time before
There is nothing to hold anymore, more, more
When will the blade stop falling? Slicing through the air
These are not goat's heads rolling everywhere, yeah

(Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe
(Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe
(Ahh-oop)
Guillotine of Guadeloupe swings down, down, down

Guillotine of Guadeloupe
Guillotine of Guadeloupe
Guillotine of Guadeloupe swings down, down, down
Swings down, down, down
Swings down, down, down
Swings down, down, down
Swings down, down, down
Swings down, down, down, yeah
