A Thief

Like a thief he passed out of sight Through the dark shadow of night All the animals are affright As he hunts on moonlight Take flight in the night! To kill is his delight Though it puts up no fight All the animal’s fly-by-night, to hide way out of his sight Take flight in the night! O little white hare Beware! Beware! Take care my little hare, That tonight you’re not dared Beware my little hare! Take flight in the night O moose Don’t get caught in this hunter’s noose Fly as fast and as far as a goose For your sake vamoose Take flight in the night moose Take flight in the night O bear Take care to avoid his snare Don’t despair beware! O little bear beware Take flight in the night bear The wolf is whom I say His coat is silver, yellow and grey When you hear him call run far away Don’t hesitate or stay Take flight in the night.
