The Panther Song
VERSE 1
Little boys little girls listen to my song
It may help your lives to be long
Your mommies and daddies may disagree
And say the only monsters are folks like me
CHORUS
Theyâll say there ainât no reason to fear
We ainât got no panthers around here
VERSE 2
Donât go into the woods alone
Youâre gonna wish youâd stayed at home
Youâll hear the birds and crickets stop chirpinâ
In the darkness youâll see something lurkinâ
VERSE 3
The sound of itâs cry will make you sick
Make the hair stand up on the back of your neck
Youâre gonna know just what I mean
When you hear that high pitched scream
VERSE 4
Your flashlight may catch eyes of green
A sight youâll wish youâd never seen
Heâll be prowling youâll be praying
Youâll see Jesus heâll be saying
VERSE 5
Thatâs when youâre gonna start to run
Wish youâd grabbed daddyâs shotgun
But you ainât even got a pocket knife
Hope youâve enjoyed your short life
VERSE 6
Theyâll 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
Youâll wish youâd died yesterday
