Dungeonville

Down in the cavern
Far from the tavern
Cold and lonely down here in the dark
Monsters all around
Making some weird sounds
Now I know this is no walk in the park

Hiding away again down here in Dungeonville
Hoping my luck doesn't turn for the worse
Some people claim that there's a fortune to gain
But I know, I've got to find it first

The monsters are scary
They're mean and they're hairy
I try to avoid them whenever I can
But if I am fast then
I can sneak past them
It's all a part of my cunning plan

Hiding away again down here in Dungeonville
Hoping my luck doesn't turn for the worst
Some people claim that there's a fortune to gain
But I know, I've got to find it first

Now there are some fighters
Who like armor brighter
But I like dusty old leather just fine
While the others are fighting
I will be a-lighting
Out through the backdoor with all I can find

Running away again, right out of Dungeonville
Hoping my luck doesn't turn for the worst
Some people claim that there's a fortune to gain
They'd be right, 'cept that I got there first
