lyrics

20000 armored men
and 20000 horses then
a line of archers like a wall
Countries rise and fight and fall

Offspring of the golden horde
Lord and master of the world
And how in heaven could he want more?
How could he want more?

And oh I pledge my life to that man
I knelt down and kissed his hand

And how I would do it all again!
The khan of khans the king of all
Men~

Oh! Hai hai hai hai
kublai! Kublai!
Hai! Oh oh oh oh!
Marco! Marco!
Oh! Hai hai hai hai
kublai! Kublai!
Hai! Oh oh oh oh!
Marco! Marco!

We traveled on the silk road far
My father and his brother and our
caravan of loaded goods
Finest silk and jeweled wood

Wondering through the court of kings
The beauty of the passing spring
Skies to make the blackbird sing
Oh how my heart did ring

And while I would leave after many years
The beauty of it all stays clear

And if our time from heavens better spent
I can't say how it would have
been
