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
theyll say there aint no reason to fear
C G D
we aint got no panthers around here

verse 2
dont go into the woods alone
youre gonna wish youd stayed at home
youll hear the birds and crickets stop chirpin
in the darkness youll see something lurkin

verse 3
the sound of its cry will make you sick
make the hair stand up on the back of your neck
youre gonna know just what i mean
when you hear that high pitched scream

verse 4
your flashlight may catch eyes of green
a sight youll wish youd never seen
hell be prowling youll be praying
youll see jesus hell be saying

verse 5
thats when youre gonna start to run
wish youd grabbed Daddys shotgun
but you aint even got a pocket knife
hope youve enjoyed your short life

verse 6
theyll 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
youll wish youd died yesterday
