Watch Your Back

When midnight strikes
And your on your new bike
You see a black cat
You better watch your back.
Mum and Dad ask "have you cleaned your room".
You havent instead you say "someone hid the broom".
Mum gives you a strange look
Now your in a hook.
You step on crack
Better watch your mums back.
You walk under a ladder
Your luck has shatter .
Dad said he`d give you a smack
Better watch your back.
Cause every mistake you make
For god`s sake
Your back will always ache.
