[Verse] Down in the meadow where the moonlight glows, The crickets chirp their songs, every night it shows, But danger lurks beyond, under the old pine trees, A dragon named Rex brings the crickets to their knees. [Verse 2] Rex was mighty tall with scales of green and gold, His hunger for those crickets was a tale often told, They sang their lil' hearts out till he came around, And then silence would whisper, not a single sound. [Chorus] Poor innocent crickets, singin' in the night, Dark and hungry shadows, such a dreadful sight, Little crickets chirpin', savin' their last breath, Rex the dragon swoopin', bringin' nothin' but their death. [Verse 3] Billy and Susie, just crickets in the field, Walkin' through the night, their fate was sealed, When Rex came sneakin' round, on that starry night, They couldn't out-chirp him, they lost their fight. [Verse 4] The meadow now is quiet, no songs fill the air, The crickets have all vanished, there's no one there, Rex lies by the river with a stomach so full, For the song of a cricket, it's now just a lull. [Chorus] Poor innocent crickets, singin' in the night, Dark and hungry shadows, such a dreadful sight, Little crickets chirpin', savin' their last breath, Rex the dragon swoopin', bringin' nothin' but their death.
