Original words and tune by Dan Schneider

Now take it from me cause I know it is true,
This place can sure be frightening
There’s no point to staying away from shanties
When out there you might be struck by lightning
Ill sing you a song that won’t teach you a thing,
Listen with ears and use your mouth to sing
If you don’t know the words then be loud till you’re blue
Just make vowel sounds like blah and skree and wahoo,
Now take it from me cause I know it is true,
This place can sure be frightening
There’s no point to staying away from shanties
When out there you might be struck by lightning
Out there in the world there are dangers it’s true,
Walking in a park and step in shit! It’s poo
And just when you think that’s the worst in this place,
A hound jumps right up and tears chunks out your face
Now take it from me cause I know it is true,
This place can sure be frightening
There’s no point to staying away from shanties
When out there you might be struck by lightning
Overseas evil people with guns how they roam,
You might think less of them live closer to home,
But out there when you turn and walk down the wrong street,
You might run afoul of a bang bang skeet skeet
Now take it from me cause I know it is true,
This place can sure be frightening
There’s no point to staying away from shanties
When out there you might be struck by lightning
I hope you’re not scared to be outside this place,
I can see the great fear taking hold of your face,
But next time on a Monday instead of pissing your panties
Go inside where it’s safe at the bar and sing shanties
Now take it from me cause I know it is true,
This place can sure be frightening
There’s no point to staying away from shanties
When out there you might be struck by lightning
