Like father like son
Dm7
Not flesh nor fish nor bone

A red rag hangs from an open mouth

Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle

All the kings horses and all the kings men

In one hand bread, the other a stone

The hunter enters the forest

By the look of this one you've not got much to fear

Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening

Come to match my skill to yours
