Lyrics
Happily this afternoon, Along the beach I waddle. Looking at the sand, I spy an old, forgotten bottle! I pick it up, and look at it! My eyes go big and wide! For heaven's yes! There seems to be A treasure map inside! Somewhere at the tail end Of this twisty dotted line A chest of gold awaits, And soon it's going to be mine! I buy a sturdy shovel, Since the treasure will be deep. I buy expensive boots, Because my old ones are too cheap. I buy a fancy compass And a treasure-hunting cap, Then off I set, into the forest Eyes upon my map. So carefully I trace the pathway, Every little bend It's almost getting dark, Before - at last! I reach the end! I'm so excited, I can't help But do a little jig! I calm myself, take out my shovel And proceed to dig. I dig and dig and dig Until my hands begin to hurt, Then finally, my treasure chest! All worn and caked in dirt! But when I look inside the chest, I only find a note. Upon it is this simple little message, And I quote: "Everybody wants to find A buried treasure chest, But no-one wants to bury one. If you do, be my guest!" ...Pirates are assholes.
