🎸 Verse 1:
Dm               A
Lewis was an odd boy
Dm                    A
Who had no friends at all
Dm                        A
He was sickly skinned and tattered clothed
       Dm            A
And he wasn't very tall
 Dm                  A
He walked to school alone
  Dm                     A
With his lunchbox in his hand
Dm             A              Dm         A
Dreading the ridicule he'd be forced to withstand

🎸 Verse 2:
Dm                        A
The boys at school would tease him
      Dm            A
But the most unruly bunch
      Dm                    A
Would pinch him, poke him, call him names
     Dm             A
And even steal his lunch
            Dm                  A
They would treat him with disdain
     Dm                 A
Themselves uncouth and crass
        Dm              A                  Dm           A
But was Lewis all that different from the other kids in class?


🎸 Verse 3:
       Dm                A
While walking home from school Lewis
Dm          A
 Noticed a girl
     Dm             A                Dm           A
With white skin and pink hair like a cotton candy whirl
   Dm             A
Intrigued by her style
     Dm                A
And enthralled of her pulchritude
Dm              A                 Dm            A
Lewis tried to speak with her but she was quite rude

🎸 Verse 4:
Dm               A
Disturbed by his presence
    Dm           A
The girl walked away
    Dm                A            Dm                A
But Lewis stepped behind her while entreating her to stay
    Dm            A
Her hair soft and fluffy
        Dm              A
Smelled good enough to eat
   Dm              A                Dm           A
So Lewis plucked a mouthful and it tasted rather sweet
           Dm             A
She'd been waiting for a friend
    Dm           A
To take her on a date
   Dm          A              Dm           A
Imagine his surprise when he arrived a bit late
Dm                  A
 Cowering and sobbing
         Dm             A
The poor girl was in shock
      Dm             A               Dm
While Lewis devoured most of her hair
         A
Lock by lock


🎸 Verse 5:
    Dm               A         Dm           A
Now, what happened next is too violent to tell
Dm                A          Dm            A
Let's just say Lewis had an accident and fell
        Dm         A
He was left there swollen
      Dm               A
And bleeding on the mound
     Dm          A              Dm              A
The lesson was taught had been fierce and profound



🎸 Verse 6:
        Bb                F
But the couple's fate was worse
        A               Dm
As the two were walking home
  Bb          F                    A
A giant furry beast that throughout the night did roam
Bb              F                A
Ate each child, someone's son and
               Dm
And someone's daughter
    Bb               F               A
It chewed them both whole and left no

Proof of a slaughter


🎸 Verse 8:
BbM7        F            A              Dm
Lewis is an odd boy, who has no friends at all
       Bb               F          A
But he owns a ferocious beast that's scary and tall
    Bb                F             A           Dm
His pet is trained to eat those who aren't very nice
     Bb               F        A
So before you pick on Lewis be sure and think twice
