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
