The Youghiogany Yapper

Lyrics

[Verse] Down by the banks of the Youghiogany stream Where moonlight plays tricks—a surreal Eerie gleam Lurks a beast in the shadows With eyes cold and green A crocodile snake In the darkness unseen [Verse 2] The locals They whisper in hushed Fearful tones Of the Youghiogany Yapper That chills to the bones It slithers and prowls when the night hour is nigh Under the silvery veil Of the star-speckled sky [Chorus] Oh Beware the Yapper It hunts in the night With scales that glisten In pale lunar light A shadow A phantom In the cool midnight air The Youghiogany Yapper Lurks everywhere [Verse 3] They say it comes creeping when the world is asleep Through cattails and marshes It silently weeps Its lament a low growl That echoes the shore A glimmer of dread Behind every door [Verse 4] Old children’s tales of the Yapper persist Of travelers lost in the river’s cold mist Of sorrow and woe Of heart-wrenching tear A legend born dark In the old yesteryear [Chorus] Oh Beware the Yapper It hunts in the night With scales that glisten In pale lunar light A shadow A phantom In the cool midnight air The Youghiogany Yapper Lurks everywhere
