Am G Bb F
Down where the Sasquatch hide, in the misty mountainside
Am G Bb F
He's got shiny diamonds that he's got to protect
Am G Bb F
Look into the Sasquatch eye, did you know that sass could fly
Am G Bb F
Sasquatch is my daddy and he's going to protect, me!
Half man and half machine, on the cover of a magazine
Bigfoot is my father and he's got to protect, me!
These lyrics don't make sense, think I've found the evidence
That yeti is my papa and he wants to protect, me!
 
(solo) Am G Bb F
