Style: Punk
Vocals: Female or Male

Verse 1
I got a treasure map with history
My favorite cousin gave it up me
As-long-as-I-shared-half-with-him
NO!
A monster lies in wait
for hunter-ers
I hope my feet don't slip
in front of her
Or-I'm-good-as-dead-I-tripped
s***!

Chorus
YES! Go That Way!
(Run Run)
NO! Don't Go There!
(Run Run)
Repeat

Verse 2
It's not too far from here
I'll get the cash
I'll be rich as sin with class
I-just-fell-on-my-ass-motherf***
DUCK!
I've got to go and try to make it there
There are some brambles getting in my hair
Is-that-thing-behind-me-some
WHERE!

Chorus

Bridge
I don't just want to
run run
I just want my cash now
I don't just want to
run run run run
run

Verse 3
I found the loot and then I brought it here
But I was robbed by men with much to fear
have-you-seen-this-hooded-man?
NO?
Oh well
I kept a few gold coins right next me
They weren't of any value worth to me
I-can't-eat-chocolate-open-it
SEE?

Outro
Now you see my tale is done
I hope you had fun
now
seeing me just
run run run run
run!


Author's Note: I've been avoiding writing this song down because I didn't think I could really pull it off. But I did it, and it rocks! It's more of a performance piece than anything else. I can imagine the lead singer throwing out chocolate coins to the crowd at the end!
