Lyrics Harry Nilsson – Ten Little Indians
Text:
Ten little Indians standing in a line
One stood looking at another man’s wife
Then there were nine
Nine little Indians
One took another’s goods
Then there were eight
Eight little Indians
They just got down from heaven
One told a lie about another’s best friend
Then there were seven
Seven little Indians
All tryin’ to get their kicks
One thought he found another way to get to heaven
Then there were six
Six little Indians
All trying to stay alive
One took another’s life
Then there were five
Five little Indians
All trying to find the door
One pulled his mother down
Then there were four
Four little Indians
All thinkin’ that they gotta be free
One little Indian forgot to say his prayers
Then there were three
Three little Indians
Deciding what they’re gonna have to do
One took the name of God in vain
Two little Indians
Thinkin’ that they ought to have some fun
One took a liking to a picture of himself
Now there was one
One little Indian
Out lookin’ for the sun
At six o’clock the moon came out
Then there were none
