Lyrics:
Haru said she was down at docks. He still hasn't come back
He went out to hunt some water ox. The night became his death clock

You heard what the rumour is. Do you believe it't true?

There's a creature in the water, they believed was long gone
A demon with webbed hands which awakens at dawn

You heard what the rumour is. Do you believe it't true?

Don't mess with the river tiger
Don't mess with the river tiger, no
Don't mess with the river tiger, no, no oho
Better don‘t mess, better don‘t mess

He was the bravest we had, always finished his task
But this time we feared for him and had to find him fast

You heard what the rumour is. Do you believe it't true?

It shapeshifts and looks like a human. Slimy skinned it would bite
out of them an invisible organ that the myth did hide

You heard what the rumour is. Do you believe it't true?

Don't mess with the river tiger
Don't mess with the river tiger, no
Don't mess with the river tiger, no, no oho
Better don‘t mess, better don‘t mess

This kappa is malevolent, wrestling villagers into the lake
Not known to benevolent. He'd steal their children for bait

After a month they'd finished mouring, he appeared there at the shore
And without any forewarning he returned to them all
He batteld the beast for days on end but couldn't finish it off
Kappa hab to tricked as a friend and bow down to empty his puddle head

You heard what the rumour is. Do you believe it't true?

Don't mess with the river tiger
Don't mess with the river tiger, no
Don't mess with the river tiger, no, no oho
Better don‘t mess, better don‘t mess
