If you go down to the woods today,
you’re sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today,
you’re probably going to die.
There’s danger down in the woods today,
you better not stay too late.
If you stay out in the woods today,
you’ll suffer a grisly fate.
For every beast that ever there was
will gather there for certain because
today’s the day the maniacs wield their axes.
