When I was still in high school,
I received a little chest,
It was a miniature hope chest,
A furniture store got my address.
The furniture store was hoping,
That I would soon be engaged.
And buy my furniture from them,
I really was amazed.
All the high school ladies,
Got a chest from them.
It was a huge promotion,
And that was way back when.
Many ladies got engaged,
And went to this very store.
And bought their household furniture,
And they they bought some more.
I never did go shopping
There – I didn’t do my best.
And, you know, I still have,
The very little chest.
