I set up camp at the head of the creek

The day was warm and the wind was fine
C D G
Then my tent, it attacked me - snuck up right behind!Spoken: “Then I said...”
Chorus:
C G F C
Warnock! Please rescue me! My pup tent's gone berserk!
G D G
Call out for Timothy! It's the only thing that will work
D G
When your pup tent's gone berserk!G C G
2. I was losing the battle - the tent was gonna win!
C D G
So I called right out for Timothy again.
G C G
I heard a yell and the ground it shook
C D G
There was Warnock a-jumpin' 'cross the brook! ChorusG C G
3. He swung his sword and began to fight
C D G
The tent was a-thrashin' and the quarters they were tight.

The tent it gave a shudder great

Warnock was the victor and the tent had met its fate! Chorus
