That Damn Gopher

[Intro] [Acoustic Guitar and Harmonica] [Verse] I was sittin' by the campfire, cookin' up a stew, When a sneaky little gopher came and stole my food, I chased him 'round the pine trees, thought I’d make him pay, But that critter had a plan to ruin my whole day. [Chorus] He threw a little jab, and then he threw a punch, That gopher knocked me flat, now he’s munchin' on my lunch, I thought I had him cornered, thought I had him beat, But now I’m lying down while he's nibblin' on my meat. [Verse 2] I woke up in the dirt, my pride left behind, That gopher’s sittin’ smugly, eating what’s mine, I swore I’d never live this down, the tale’s too tall to tell, But that gopher’s got my supper, and he sent me straight to hell. [Chorus] He threw a little jab, and then he threw a punch, That gopher knocked me flat, now he’s munchin' on my lunch, I thought I had him cornered, thought I had him beat, But now I’m lying down while he's nibblin' on my meat. [Bridge] So if you’re ever camping, beware the critters near, They might seem kinda harmless, but they’ll steal your beer, And if you pick a fight, just remember my tale, That gopher’s got a punch that’ll make you wail! [Final Chorus] He threw a little jab, and then he threw a punch, That gopher knocked me flat, now he’s munchin' on my lunch, I thought I had him cornered, thought I had him beat, But now I’m lying down while he's nibblin' on my meat. [Outro] So if you see a gopher with a glint in his eye, You better walk away, don’t even try, He’s the king of the forest, don’t need a crown, That gopher took me down, and now he owns this town. [Fade Out] (Get the hell back here with my stew. Damn you!) [Harmonica and Acoustic Guitar]
