Owley, Owley, stay away.
Owley, don’t you come today.
All the hunters come in May.
Owley, Owley, stay away.
Owley, you’re such a little owl,
You don’t fly when the werewolves howl.
You’re lost in a big-big world.
Owley, you’re just a little girl.
Owley, Owley stay away.
All the trees aren’t gonna stay.
Owley, the world is changing, dear.
If you want me I’ll be here.
