Lyrics and translation
Original
Better get out of the woods today. Plenty danger waiting there.
Plenty hungry madams out today. Eat you up as soon as stare.
Cruel garden, cruel garden, birds of prey are on the wing. Cruel garden, cruel garden, hope I can survive the spring.
If you're walking in the woods tonight, watch out for a madam's eyes.
One jumped up and grabbed me, what a fright! Said that I was just her size.
Cruel garden, cruel garden, birds of prey are on the wing.
Cruel garden, cruel garden, hope I can survive the spring.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, gotta get home in the light.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, shouldn't be down here at night.
Cruel garden, cruel garden, birds of prey are on the wing.
Cruel garden, cruel garden, hope I can survive the spring.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, gotta get home in the light. Oh, oh, oh, oh, shouldn't be down here at night.
