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
Theyll say there aint no reason to fear
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
