Burglar`s Demands 

Pennies in my purse
pounds in his pocket
silver in the drawer
cheques in a docket

Gold in the bank vaults
diamonds on his ear
pearls around my neck
there`s nothing to fear

Treasures are all safe
until that fateful night
when you came a calling
and gave us a fright

Robbery on your mind
you made your demands
you took our treasure
possessions in your hands
