Mooncrickets & Melons

[Verse] Out in the fields where the cornstalks grow Comes a critter unseen Like a shadow in tow Mooncrickets They call 'em Sneaky and sly Stealin' our melons under a moonlit sky [Verse 2] Townfolk were talkin' Grumblin' deep "Lost another melon Barely got sleep." Thought and they gathered Scratchin' their heads How to stop the thieves before they fled.. [Chorus] Mooncrickets in the moonlight Stealin' melons in the dead of night But we won't let 'em win this fight We're gonna settle this on the court tonight [Verse 3] Strung up a net by the old barn wall Grabbed a few peaches Starts a b-ball brawl "Y'all wanna steal? How about a game? Winner takes all And we won't complain." [Verse 4] Crickets came slinkin' Confident grins Ball hit the hardwood Let the game begin Shoes on the gravel Cheers in the wind Mooncrickets felt the pressure Their grip grew thin [Bridge] The townfolk and critters Under moonlit gaze Sweat on their brows Trapped in that craze Melons on the line Shootin' hoops all night Just a ragtag game to set things right
