CHe scares G#easily
CIt makes hG#im so CaG#ngry
At Gmme
CAnd his G#head it spins arouCnd
Just like the eG#xorcist and CI

Hard to Fresist his cries
But there's nCothing more sadistic than an iA#nfant
WavCing his pistol G#in my face
He Cwants me right down G#on my knees
CruFmbling in diA#sgrace
But hCe undereG#stimates my miCnd
I know he's G#messing with my hFead
My only weG#akness is
I can't believe the guy could be enA#tirely dead
