[C]Don't [D]go in the cag[B]e tonight,

And [B]when they get their angry fits
They may [G]tear you all [Abdim]to bits

[D]So go in the lion's [B]cage tonight, mother darling,
[A]for the lions look ferocious and they bite.

[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
