Open the old chest look in the drawer
What an amazing treasure for a seven year old to find, to leave it unlocked was ever so kind.
Found some wool lift it out, look underneath an excitable fright
Incredible, fantastic, shining like new a handle a trigger, some bullets too, open the barrel and take a look in, better than reading or having to sing.
Play cops and robbers put on a mask
Dress as a cowboy run away fast
Better hide it, his secret to find
If mum found out she wouldn't be kind
In the chest for next day's joy bring some friends and next doors little boy.
Sunday morning the sun shining warm
Out to play early with Jimmy and Shaun
Into the barn show them the treasure
Shaun wants a go to take up the measure, "it's rather heavy" Shaun says with an aim, the first little boy did not speak again
