"Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'bout a kingdom o n a mountain
And the valley folks below.
On the mountain was a treasure
Hidden deep beneath a stone,
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own...

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.
Came the answer from the kingdom,
'With our brothers we will share,
All the secrets of the mountain,
All the riches buried there.'

Now the valley cried with anger,
'Mount your horses, draw your swords!'
And they killed the mountain people,
So they won their just rewards
Now they stood before the treasure
On the mountain dark and red
Turned the stone and looked beneath it..."
