The world is a very scary place, my dear
It's hurled and it's twirled through outer space, I fear
So many ways to lose your skin in it
The number of ways to die is infinite

The world is a very scary thing, I find
It's curled all my toes and it's curling my mind
When I was young my study was candies
but they attract tarantulas and bees

Some people act as if there were nothing wrong,
due to the fact they haven't heard this song

The world is a very scary place to go
It's whorled and it's swirled with death like lace, you know
You may have found my views unorthodox
but now the wolf is at the door; it knocks.
