Verse:
I’d never even heard of wild
Panthers
In the hills before, I grew up in Canberra
So how could I have imagined it
When I didn’t know the
Stories?
Chorus:
I Know What I Saw
I Know What I Saw
I Know What I Saw
Verse:
It was black, and it was
Huge
So much bigger than a house cat
No it was not a dog
Or a pony
It was a black cat, giant cat
Scared the shit out of me
Chorus:
I Know What I Saw
I Know What I Saw
I Know What I Saw
Bridge:
Maybe a travelling circus
Maybe a miner’s pet
Maybe escaped from a zoo
Could have happened shut up
Verse:
Stop making fun of Canberrans, only
Bogans
Drink beer straight out of the bottle
I can use a glass and still
Be manly
And Croydon station at night is
Full of assholes
It was a panther
Chorus:
I Know What I Saw
I Know What I Saw
I Know What I Saw
Outro:
It
Was
Not
A
Deeeeeeeer
