The Panther Song

VERSE 1
DLittle (xx0232@1)boys little girls listen to my song

It may help your lives to be long
     BmYour (x24432@1)mommies and daddies may disagree
   DAnd (xx0232@1)say the only monsters are folks like me

CHORUS
           C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)     DThey'll (xx0232@1)say there ain't no reason to fear
C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)           DWe (xx0232@1)ain't got no panthers around here
 
VERSE 2
Don't go into the woods alone
You're gonna wish you'd stayed at home
You'll hear the birds and crickets stop chirpin'
In the darkness you'll see something lurkin'

VERSE 3
The sound of it's cry will make you sick
Make the hair stand up on the back of your neck
You're gonna know just what I mean
When you hear that high pitched scream
 
VERSE 4
Your flashlight may catch eyes of green
A sight you'll wish you'd never seen
He'll be prowling you'll be praying
You'll see Jesus he'll be saying
 
VERSE 5
That's when you're gonna start to run
Wish you'd grabbed daddy's shotgun
But you ain't even got a pocket knife
Hope you've enjoyed your short life

VERSE 6
They'll find your body days later
Be a manhunt for a child killer
Who slices throats and gouges eyes
Prefers victims of a smaller size

VERSE 7
So enjoy your childhood have a ball
Tomorrow may not come at all
But if you become panther prey
You'll wish you'd died yesterday
