Under New York's Stone

[Verse]
When I was a laddie
Not so very old
Tales were told of dangers
So dark and cold
Underneath the cobbles
Where the shadows roam
Lived the sewer crocs
In a jagged
Teeming home
[Verse 2]
Grown-ups whispered warnings
Shared in hushed tones
Of teeth and tails beyond those metal grates and stones
For those who misbehaved
Went astray or did wrong
The sewer crocs would come for them
Silent and strong
[Chorus]
Oh
The sewer crocs of New York
Down in the deep
Hunters of the night
Where the restless waters sweep
Fear would clutch our hearts
As we lay in bed
Dreams of jagged jaws
Visions draped with dread
[Verse 3]
Johnny down the lane
With a wicked grin
Found himself at twilight
Drifting farther in
Swore by the morning
In the whispers of the breeze
A croc had come for him
Silent as the trees
[Verse 4]
Mary
She was naughty
Stole an apple or two
She never came to supper
Vanished right from view
We feared the sewers took her
Beneath the city stone
Captured by the crocs
In a dark
Forbidden zone
[Chorus]
Oh
The sewer crocs of New York
Down in the deep
Hunters of the night
Where the restless waters sweep
Fear would clutch our hearts
As we lay in bed
Dreams of jagged jaws
Visions draped with dread
