Have you ever been hiking
Out in the woods
When this creepy feeling
Scares you real good?
Afraid to look round
Don't know what's behind
Oh don't be so silly!
Everything's fine!
The sound of a twig
Snapping in two
Your heart starts pounding
You shake in your shoes
A flicker of light
Through the towering pines
Saw something moved
Was it just in my mind?
It happens again
So I whirl myself 'round
There right before me
My brother the clown
Laughing and chuckling
Under the pines
This badass prankster
Kid brother of mine
He teases me still
Bout the look on my face
After all these years
He still can't erase
One day my turn
For revenge will arrive
And brother oh brother
I hope he survives!
