• To stumble and blunder a burglar needs not
    Eyes thrilled in mischeif show clear and bright
    For in tempting fate his wealth will be sought

    And behold, he knows he cannot be caught
    Every step sure and locks picked just right
    To stumble and blunder a burglar needs not

    Clever yet fleeting is his soul's plot
    A hardened mind and heart shut so tight
    For in tempting fate his wealth will be sought

    Blood pulses forward like a boiling pot
    NErves and confusion he battles all night
    To stumble and blunder a burglar needs not

    A chance he takes though his mind is fraught
    With luck almost as strong as his sight
    For in tempting fate his wealth will be sought

    Beware of victims within their cots
    Sneaking around the flickering porch light
    To stumble and blunder a burglar needs not
    For in tempting fate his wealth will be sought
