Lyrics

The little lunch box

Four years ago I was just
A hard workin' coal mining man
I carried my lunch box to work every day
And I carried it back home again

One day down in shaft number nine
I was diggin' that dirty black coal
When my pick hit something and then I looked
It was a vein of pure gold

I dug out a good sized hunk
Lucky that I was alone
For I put the gold in my own lunch box
Then I carried it home

The nugget brought 4,000 clams
So every day after lunch
I took the box to my secret place
And chipped out another hunk

Well rour years ago I was just
A coal miner punchin' the clock
But now I'm the owner and president
Because of that little lunch box
Because of that little lunch box
