POWER OUTAGE PANIC By Dan Blakeslee

Pitch black dark shack the powers gone.
I've one sense down and I cannot wait till dawn.
Deep night flashlight from on down the hall, frozen on the floorboards I hear my baby call.

Daniel, won't you shine that light on me. Power outage panic let me be!

I cried, stove died, what am I gonna chew?
Half cooked taters I curse the fuse that blew!
No dice, card vice, I have lost all week.
Only when the powers out luck will break that streak.

Daniel, won't you shine that light on me. Power outage panic set my baby free... let's panic...

Dark Street cold feet, bottles out the door.
My city ditty won't take long there's just a little more.
It's a short song, not long, power outage send.
Voltage through the wires and let this panic end.
