The Panther Song

VERSE 1
D
Little boys little girls listen to my song

It may help your lives to be long
     Bm
Your mommies and daddies may disagree
   D
And say the only monsters are folks like me

CHORUS
           C            G       D
They?ll say there ain?t no reason to fear
C              G             D
We 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
