Tourney Chest ~ The Bards of Keypoint

While walking merchant's row one day
My lady, she did find
Some lovely jewels and treasures
Of the rare and precious kind
She bought her friends all necklaces
Herself, a brand new dress
But the treasure that I love the most
Is her new tourney chest

Yes, her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
She found it for the low, low price
Of being under-dressed
Her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
She keeps the treasures I like best
Locked inside her tourney chest

A damsel had a duty
One sunny summer day
Of leading dragon riders
To the place where they would stay
And with her corset tied up tight
As dragons like it best
They left her with the treasure
Of a dark red tourney chest

Yes, her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
It's tied up tight and glows at night
While in the dragon's nest
Her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
She keeps the treasure I like best
Locked inside her tourney chest

While sitting in town square
Underneath a bright blue sky
A lovely maiden played her harp
For all the people passing by
Some gave her coins of silver
Others offered their requests
The sun itself gave her the token
Of a mid-day tourney chest

Yes, her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
She's never flat when she plays like that
As listeners can attest
To her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
She keeps the treasure I like best
Locked inside her tourney chest

While jousters rode their horses
At a midsummer event
The royalty sat watching
To judge who was the best
As the victor came forward
After besting every test
The queen herself bestowed the trophy
But kept the tourney chest

Yes, her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
It's large and rare and very fair
And holds the royal crest
On her tourney chest
Her tourney chest
She has a lovely tourney chest
She keeps the treasure I like best
Locked inside her tourney chest
Now, my lady, may I be so bold
To look at you and say
Your tourney chest holds treasures
That I'd love to see displayed
I'd guard them with my life
And I'd love them tenderly
So I hope that one day soon
I may possess the key

To your tourney chest
Your tourney chest
You have a lovely tourney chest
It's large and pink, now don't you think
You need more SPF
On your tourney chest
Your tourney chest
You have lovely tourney chest
You keep the treasures I like best
Locked inside your tourney chest
