The Panther Song

[D]Little boys little girls listen to my song

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

They’ll say[C] there ain’t [G]no reaso[D]n to fear
[C]We ain’t got no[G] panthers arou[D]nd here

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’

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

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

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

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

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
