BOO! HISS! In the musical, this is Daniel’s first encounter with the baddies who would later plot to throw him into the lions' den. When the song fades out at the end, put your head close to the speakers and listen carefully (tee hee hee).

BOO! HISS! In the musical, this is Daniel’s first encounter with the baddies who would eventually plot to throw him into the lion’s den. Here they are giving him a ‘friendly warning’ to ‘watch your step’ because ‘accidents can happen’. As you hear the song fade out at the end repeating ‘be on your guard’, put your head close to the speakers and listen carefully (tee hee hee).

YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR STEP
IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU.
KEEP OUT OF OUR WAY
AND WE’LL KEEP OUT OF YOURS.
DON’T FRET,
JUST HEED OUR FRIENDLY WARNING
SO THAT ACCIDENTS DON’T HAPPEN,
BETTER LOCK ALL THE DOORS.

YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK,
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S BEHIND YOU
AND YOU CAN’T RELAX
WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT WE KNOW
GET BACK
FORGET ABOUT YOUR MISSION
BECAUSE WE MAKE ALL DECISIONS,
BETTER MIND HOW YOU GO.

DANGERS HIDE AROUND THE CORNER,
STRANGERS CREEP INTO YOUR YARD,
BEWARE!
NOT WANTING TO UPSET YA
BUT THERE’S SOMETHING OUT TO GET YA, NOW
SO BE ON YOUR GUARD.

YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR GROUND
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S AROUND YOU
NEVER MAKE A SOUND
WHEN YOU’RE STRAYING TOO FAR
LOOK ROUND!
THERE’S DANGER IN THE OPEN
YOU TRIP UP, YOUR LEGS ARE BROKEN
BETTER BE ON YOUR GUARD.

DANGERS HIDE AROUND THE CORNER,
STRANGERS CREEP OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR,
BEWARE!
NOT WANTING TO UPSET YA
BUT DON’T LET THE BED BUGS BITE YA
NEED WE SAY ANY MORE?

(instrumental verse)

YOU’RE HUNG ABOVE THE LIONS' DEN
YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN AND THEN
NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU
NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU
THE ROPE THAT HOLDS YOU IS UNTIED
AND THEN AT LAST YOU REALISE
YOU’VE MET YOUR BITTER END
IT’S THE END
DON’T SAY WE DIDN’T WARN YOU……

BETTER WATCH YOURSELF
BETTER DO WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU.
IT’S BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH
TO IGNORE OUR ADVICE
GOOD HEALTH
IF YOU HEED OUR FRIENDLY WARNING
BUT IGNORE OUR FRIENDLY WARNING
AND WE WON’T BE SO NICE.

DANGERS HIDE AROUND THE CORNER,
STRANGERS CREEP INTO YOUR YARD,
BEWARE!
NOT WANTING TO UPSET YA
BUT THERE’S SOMETHING OUT TO GET YA NOW
SO BE ON YOUR GUARD.

DANGERS HIDE AROUND THE CORNER,
STRANGERS CREEP OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR,
BEWARE!
NOT WANTING TO UPSET YA
BUT DON’T LET THE BED BUGS BITE YA
NEED WE SAY ANY MORE?
SO BE ON YOUR GUARD
BE ON YOUR GUARD
BE ON YOUR GUARD, YEAH
BE ON YOUR GUARD
BE ON YOUR GUARD
BE ON YOUR GUARD
WATCH OUT!!
