COYOTE IN THE YARD words & music Lenny Solomon

Key Em © L. Solomon 2011

There’s a coyote in the yard

Who’s trying oh so hard to get near to you

He wants to do you harm, rob you of the thoughts that are dear to you

So lock up every door, beware of what’s in store

There’s a coyote in the yard, a trickster, that coyote

Telling me what’s good and what is not

Stealing words to spin them like a top

Swirl like a tornado in a booth

Can’t see what’s a lie and what is truth

There’s a coyote in the yard

Who’s trying oh so hard to get near to you

He wants to do you harm, rob you of the thoughts that are dear to you

So lock up every door, beware of what’s in store

There’s a coyote in the yard, a trickster, that coyote

Rich men saying that their life is rough

All the things they have, never enough

Giving’s just an ornamental phrase

Taking is hallmark of their ways

There’s a coyote in the yard

Who’s trying oh so hard to get near to you

He wants to do you harm, rob you of the thoughts that are dear to you

So lock up every door, beware of what’s in store

There’s a coyote in the yard, a trickster, that coyote
