Hobyah

Look out the hobyah's are on their way
I hope they don't see me
If I don't manage to hide in time
They'll eat me for their tea

A month ago they came to town
Looking for some food
And as they eat humans, I'm sure you'll agree
That's not very good

So if you see them coming
Run into your house
Hide under your table's 
Be quiet as a mouse

They live under the hedgerows
And also under logs
Their not afraid of much you know
But their terrified of dogs

You see one time a big black dog
Bit off a hobyahs head
He pawed and bit another one
Until it to fell down dead

The mayor of our little town
Called a meeting today
He wants everyone who has a dog
To chase the hobyah's away

It turned out that the mayor was right
The man deserves a crown 
Everyone who has a dog
Chased the hobyah's out of town

So our lives are now much better
And its a well known fact
The hobyah's are away for good
And there never coming back
