Don't go down to the woods tonight--who knows what you will find?
Something might be stalking you, and crawl right up behind
You might feel a cold, cold breath on your pretty neck
You'll say that you ain't scared...you'll turn around to check...
Your eyes go wide, your knees go weak, you won't know what to do
Don't go down to the woods tonight--I wouldn't if I were you!
Don't go down to the woods tonight, there's something lurking there
Bobby Sue has seen it, and it's straightened out her hair!
She don't talk at all right now, she just stares into space
The thing that is most frightening is that grin upon her face!
Don't go down to the woods tonight--who knows what you will find?
It might not want your body, but it'll surely take your mind!
I went down to the woods last night; I'll tell you what I saw:
Something white, with beastly eyes, and razors on its claws!
What it whispered in my ear, I cannot reveal
I know you don't believe me--I swear that it was real
This pounding in my head is tearing out my mind--
Come on down to the woods with me, we'll see what we can find!
