The Bogeyman's Here!

Come out, come out, wherever you are
The bogeyman is here, hide in fear
Hey there little boy, you didn't go far
The bogeyman is here, don't let him near

I'm getting closer, I hear the heart beat
The bogeyman is here, can't make a sound
Hiding under the bed, all nice and neat?
The bogeyman is here, shall not be found

Perhaps the closet is where you stay
The bogeyman is here, hold your breath
I won't hurt you, can't we play?
The bogeyman is here, you're close to death

Four, three, two, I''m coming for you
The bogeyman is here, you must run
I'll keep seeking 'til I turn blue
The bogeyman is here, you are done

Argh! I 've got you, my little sneak
You cannot escape from me
I see the space from where you peek
You're mine, you'll never be free!

But can't I stay up just a 'lil while more?
I promise Dad, it won't be very late
I'm enjoying those toys upon my floor
For tomorrow to come, I just can't wait!

Hush now, hush!

The bogeyman has left at last
You can finally come out and play
Of all the toys you are the best
With scales and claws and a horny crest!
