about

To play this song on guitar, it should be tuned DADGBE.
This song evolved into a Now song called Obsession.
After lunch and a few ales, another version of this song was recorded. It was arguably not quite entirely triumphant.
It is possible that the first verse of the song was taken from the play Everyone itself, so may be acredited to Franz Frederick, its author.

lyrics

TREASURE
Operator, fornicator
Grabbing and duping your friends
Wheeling and dealing
Tricking and stealing
Double-crossing, double-dealing
Renting and selling
Buying, shopping, lying, leasing
Lending and swapping
Bullion bonds and real estate

Sorry fella, it’s too late
Don’t slobber, I don’t wait

Cheating for a million
Cheating for a dime
Cheating is cheating boy, every time

You two-bit swindler millionaire
Well now it’s over, I don’t care

Sorry fella, it’s too late
Don’t slobber, I don’t wait
You will never
Never, never see the sun again
You’ll never
Never see the sun again
You’ll never
Never see the sun again
