THE CASTLE TREASURE HUNT
Music: Ron Hiller (RONNO)
Lyrics: Beth DeVolder

Spoken: Psst! You wanna know a secret?! Yeah! Shh! Sorry, what’s the secret?
There’s treasure in the castle! Treasure?! Are you sure? Yeah, I’m sure
alright…

Chorus # 1:
There’s treasure in the castle
I know that it is there
The Prince took all his golden coins
And hid them ev’rywhere
He hid them from the dragon
He hid them high and low
Now, we can have a treasure hunt
Come on, everybody, let’s go!

Did he hide them in the tower?
Climb up, up to see
If you find a shiny something,
Why not bring it back to me
No, bring it back to me!

Did he hide them in the dungeon?
Crawl down, down to see
If you spot a piece of gold
Be nice, and bring it back to me

(Chorus # 1)

Did he hide them in the Throne Room?
Get down on your knees!
Don’t forget you can look under
Anything you see…
Look under there! No, under there!

Did he hide them in hallway?
Now, look around to see
Don’t forget to look behind
And even in-between…
Try over there! Yeh !



Did he hide them in the chapel?
Or in his chamber room?
Did he hide them in the courtyard
Where the gardens bloom?

Chorus # 2:
There’s treasure in the castle
I know that it is there
The Prince took all his golden coins
And hid them ev’rywhere
He hid them from the dragon
He hid them carefully
He said, “Away from here, you kids!”
“Leave some of them for me!”
