                                                 IF THEY SAY


                                         If they say he is fading
                                         Don’t believe it !
                                         If the weather doesn’t cooperate
                                         Don’t trust it !

                                         If a cougar wants to attack you
                                         Don’t let it !
                                         The flailing arms of a stranger
                                         Usually means some kind of danger
 
                                         When it is cold on a summer morning
                                         This could be some type of warning 
                                         The agent met the unknown visitor
                                          ‘Cos they wanted to settle a score

                                         The agent lost because of his lack of power
                                         The unknown visitor fading in an hour
                                         It was a marvelous sight to behold
                                         Just to watch this battle unfold

                                         So if someone tells you the agent won
                                         Don’t believe any father or any son 
                                         Count your blessings everyday 
                                         In the ole traditional way
