Just 5 or 6 kids in early teens
We stood in silent awe
And watched the old man work his magic
It beat all we ever saw
It appeared he hadn't noticed us
He was wrapped up in his work
And when Billy Thompson sneezed out loud
Why he didn't even jerk
We had heard about him times before
But had never really seen
But this time we were actually there
It was almost like a dream
His large hands worked so delicately
Like so many times before
Then silently the cylinder turned
And he opened up the door
Seemed like it was only seconds
Most certainly wasn't long
The total job from start to finish
He collected and was gone
We later learned he was a Locksmith
And friends I'm telling you
We all decided right then and there
We wanted to be a Locksmith too
