Don't Go In The Lion's Cage Tonight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
A
[D]Mother
[E]Once
[A]Had [D]a
Lovely
Daughter
A mother once [A]she had
[D]a lovely daughter
The [G]mother was a actress on the [D]stage
She travelled with a
[A]troupe of well -trained [D]lions
And [Bm]each night she [E]went in the
li[A]on's cage.
Now, now.
One [D]day the daughter [A]had a premonition
that [G]everything that night would
not go right.
[F#]Would [A]not go right.
That [B]day she told her mother in the [E]kitchen,
please [B]don't [E]go in the lion's
cage to[A]night.
No, not tonight
[C]Don't [D]go in the cag[B]e tonight,
[Em]mother darling
[A]For the lions look ferocious [D]and may bite
And [B]when they get their angry fits
They may [G]tear you all [Abdim]to bits
[D]So don't go in [E]the lion's [A]cage to[D]night
The mother heeded not the [A]daughter's [D]warning,
[G]but to her turned and softly said,
[A]Poo -poo, [D]I think I o[A]ught to know what I am doi[D]ng,
when [Bm]I'm around [E]the lions all feel [A]blue.
They all feel blue.
That [D]night while she was dancing
in the lion's cage,
[C]The [G]lions thought that they
would [F#]like to eat.
Would like to eat.
[B]And as they bit the darling mother's [Em]head off,
[E]These words came back to
her so pure and sweet,
[A]So pure and[B] swe[A]et.
[D]So go in the lion's [B]cage tonight, mother darling,
[A]for the lions look ferocious and they bite.
[D]And when they get [B]their angry fits,
[G]they may tear you all [Abdim]to bits.
So [Bb]we do[D]n't go[A] in the
lion's [D]cage [A]to night
[D]No, [Bb]not to[D]night
