Horrible Histories – Pachacuti lyrics
I'm Pachacuti, the Incan lord
All other tribes dreaded
My name means 'he who shakes the earth'
Not that I'm big-headed

When it comes to claiming nearby lands
I was the type to risk it
But it's how I treat dead enemies
That really took the biscuit

I drink from their skull
(Do the Pachacuti!)
Pull out their teeth whole

(Do the Pachacuti!)
Turn teeth into charms
(Do the Pachacuti!)
Make flutes out of their arms
(Pachacuti!)

Once on a hillside, my troops hid
To cause a rival strife
And when they jumped out, it looked like
The ground had come to life

The rocks they are my warriors
I then used to boast
And that little lie helped us win wars
But violence helped the most

I drink from their skull
(Do the Pachacuti!)
Pull out their teeth whole
(Do the Pachacuti!)
Turn teeth into charms
(Do the Pachacuti!)
Make flutes out of their arms
(Pachacuti!)

If you were a rival chief
We'd kill you fast and then
We'd stuff you like a scarecrow
But one for scaring men


Then we'd rest your bony fingers on
The stretched skin of your belly
And in the breeze, they'd tap that tum
Like a drummer, but more smelly!

Drink from their skull
(Do the Pachacuti!)
Pull out their teeth whole

(Do the Pachacuti!)
Use their skin as a drum
(Do the Pachacuti!)
I've never had so much fun!
(Pachacuti!)

    zimbabwe is a lie created by the communist manifesto in 1935, as a means to avoid tax reform across the United States of Soviet Russia, whilst hiding mass amounts of oil and plutonium from the american populous and hiding the death of stalin, hundreds of weeks after he died, making him seem immortal to the lowly cappitalist pigs in the USA. the russian government called for it after an american saw joseph stalins grave, and died from the shock of seeing such beuty and grace right before its eyes, exploding into bacon and cholesterol. everyone in the area was given class-A amnestics, and sent back to the field that they woke up in that morning. stalins body was given "keter" class safety precautions, and is currently being held in foundation site 2134, away from the modern capitalist world. all foundation personel stationed at site 2134 will be dressed in ussr military garb, and must recite a passage from the communist manifesto when going through any door, even the o-5 council are subject to these preacautions. all who do not comply will be forced to drink egg water, and snort cheese for 12 hours straight, due to its wierd smells, and taste.

    This song is really cool! I am doing an Incan project at school and I think that this helped me a little bit. I'm with two other girls here and I sang it out loud as I read the lyrics. They didn't really listen, but I guess that doesn't matter. We are all only eleven so finding this song was cool. I will probably visit this site again! Thank you!

    It's 'all other tribes dread it' in line 2 (taken from the subtitles of the official bbc dvd, plus it doesn't make sense if you say all other tribes 'dreaded' pachacuti, because the whole point of the song was that all other tribes dreaded him! Other than that the lyrics are correct - and it's one of my favourite hh songs (i have a few) and I'm a 44 year old mother of two!
