The Night Before Deer Season

Twas the night before deer season
and all through the town
all the hunters were campin';
there was no one around.

The guys weren't all snuggled 
and warm in their beds.
Instead they're in sleeping bags
dreaming of mounted buck heads.

They hope to get out early
and see a huge buck!
To hear something besides a squirrel, 
I'll wish them good luck!

The schools are all out for 
the whole of the season.
The mothers will go crazy
for that very reason.

It causes time to be mixed up
and all in a haze.
The game warden's wife
hasn't seen him for days. 

So get all your gear out, 
and decked out in camo.
Shine up the ole rifle,
and fill it with ammo. 

Before I finish up,
I'll give you one tip.
Don't mess with that warden,
don't give him no lip!

It's almost time to head out, 
and listen hard for a grunt.
Happy deer season to all;
have a safe and fun hunt!
