AmCome on baby, let me Dmtake your troubles Amaway
Some Dmmean old mama's got your head all in a horrible Eway

[Verse 2]
I've heard you wake up crying from the Dmevils lying under our Ambed
You say there's Dmno use trying to protect you from the danger and dEread
Though this Amworld is made of fearsome beasts that bark and bite
We Dmborn to put these creatures through one hell of a fight
May we fAmeast upon the flesh of any Efever that befalls you tonAmight

We will work through wEhat went wrAmong
AmIf a day should bDmreak in Amanger
