Predator and Prey - the Musical
Welcome - predator, please meet prey:
"Ah, we knew there would come this day",
Predator says, "Prey, have a seat.
We'll celebrate this day we meet."
Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!
Prey says, "if you don't mind, I'll stand.
There's something you must understand.
Though, awfully hungry, you must feel,
my intent is not to be a meal."
Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!
"Ah, prey, that's very well and good.
You've avoided me as you should.
But there's that thing we know as fate
which says today we have our date."
Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!
"Predator, you depend on fear
that you cause whene'er you are near.
So, eat me, and don't leave a scrap.
But are you falling for my trap?"
Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!
"Oh, no, though your talk is so rough,
I am quite certain that you bluff,
My prey often puffs up their talk,
before they take the dead man's walk."
Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!
"Predator, it's you, will be dead.
I'll surprise you and crack your head.
Some prey may well be known for flight,
but I will slay you with a fight."
Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!
And so, these animals - they spoke,
exchanging verbal fire and smoke.
Was the predator or prey laid low?
I'd tell you, but I do not know.
Fa la la-la la- Fa la la-la lee!
