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

 They’ll say there ain’t no reason to fear

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
