Probably Not a Mimic

Verse 1

Deep in the dungeon where the torches flicker low

Found a chest of polished oak with golden trim aglow

Sittin' all alone on a pedestal of stone

No skeletons around it and the rats have all flown

Pre-Chorus

And I heard a whisper from the back of my mind

"Sounds about right, let's leave it behind"

Chorus

But treasure's treasure ain't no time for being clever

Lock's right there and I could use some shiny new leather

What's the worst that could occur?

It's just a chest it doesn't stir

Probably not a mimic no not this one for sure

Probably not a mimic

Verse 2

Jake the Rogue said touch it, see what happens next

Elara the Cleric said she's got a hunch she's hexed

Thorn the Fighter's counting every copper piece in sight

I said "Watch me poke it with a stick, I'll be alright"

Pre-Chorus

And the stick went in and the stick came back

No teeth marks on the splinters not a single crack

Chorus

So treasure's treasure ain't no time for being clever

Lock's right there and I could use some shiny new leather

What's the worst that could occur?

It's just a chest it doesn't stir

Probably not a mimic no not this one for sure

Probably not a mimic

Bridge

I put my hand upon the latch

The room went silent not a scratch

And then it blinked

Chorus

Not treasure's treasure that was never very clever

Lost a hand guess I won't be tying new leather

That's the worst that could occur

That chest it DEFINITELY did stir

Absolutely was a mimic yes this one for sure

Absolutely a mimic
