Petter and his four Goats

[Intro] Once upon a time… A troll made a terrible mistake… ⸻ [Verse 1] Old Petter lived beside the pine With four fine goats and a cat beside The goats would wander far and wide Through forest paths and mountainsides But deep beneath a rocky hill A hungry troll lay dark and still He saw the goats and grinned with pride “Tonight I’ll feast!” the troll replied ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] One goat… Two goats… Three goats… Four… The troll had never smiled so broad before… 😂 ⸻ [Chorus] PETTER’S FOUR GOATS! GONE WITHOUT A TRACE! PETTER’S FOUR GOATS! THE TROLL HAS MADE A BIG MISTAKE! HEY! HEY! HE THOUGHT THE FEAST WAS WON! HEY! HEY! HE NEVER SAW WHAT WAS TO COME! ⸻ [Verse 2] When Petter found the pasture bare He knew exactly who lived there He grabbed his sack and took the road Toward the troll’s dark mountain home The troll was laughing by the fire His belly full, his mood much higher “Those goats were good!” the giant cried “Now run along!” he said with pride ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Petter smiled… Petter knew… The troll had no idea what waited too… 😄 ⸻ [Chorus] PETTER’S FOUR GOATS! GONE WITHOUT A TRACE! PETTER’S FOUR GOATS! THE TROLL HAS MADE A BIG MISTAKE! HEY! HEY! HE THOUGHT THE FEAST WAS WON! HEY! HEY! HE NEVER SAW WHAT WAS TO COME! ⸻ [Bridge] Petter opened up the sack… The cave grew strangely still… Two glowing eyes appeared within… The troll no longer looked so thrilled… 😼 “What is THAT?!” ⸻ [Folk Break] (Fiddle, accordion, crowd chanting) CAT! CAT! CAT! CAT! 😂 ⸻ [Final Chorus] PETTER’S FOUR GOATS! GONE WITHOUT A TRACE! PETTER’S FOUR GOATS! THE TROLL HAS MADE A BIG MISTAKE! HEY! HEY! HE THOUGHT THE FEAST WAS WON! HEY! HEY! THE CAT HAS COME TO RUIN HIS FUN! ⸻ [Outro] The troll ran screaming through the hills… The cat remained… Victorious…
