BOOGEYMAN
He is a creature of the night
lives deep inside your closet
comes out after midnight
have you not heard the gossip?
he is coming for me
that's how the rumor has it
he is coming for you
so we both have to face it
we haven't been good
today we misbehaved
mom and dad are asleep
and we can't be saved
i won't let go of you, sister
i know that you are scared
they say he is so sinister
our lives won't be spared!
don't let go of my hand,
don't let go of me brother!
i got you, little sister
lets get under the cover
wait! do you hear that noise,
is it water drops from the faucet?
can you check under the bed,
are you sure you locked the closet?
-lets take turns sleeping
-i think that idea is good
we can't both fall asleep
-you go first, -no! you should!
there must be a way
we must find a way to cope
all that's left is a prayer
all we can do is hope...
wait, yes, i think i got it!
they both did it so quick!
little hands reached out,
the light switch went - click!
