Children have You ever met the Bogeyman before?
No, of course You haven't for You're much too good, I'm 
sure;
Don't You be afraid of him if he should visit You, He's 
a great big coward, so I'll tell You what to do: 

Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman, 
Don't let him come too close to You, he'll catch you if 
he can. 
Just pretend that you're a crocodile 
And you will find that Bogeyman will run away a mile.

Say "Shoo shoo" and stick him with a pin 
Bogeyman will very nearly jump out of his skin Say 
"buzz buzz" just like the wasps that sting 
Bogeyman will think you are an elephant with wings 

Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman
Tell him you've got soldiers in your bed 
For he will never guess that they are only made of lead 

Say "Hush hush", he'll think that you're asleep 
Sing this tune you children one and all 
Bogeyman will run away, he'll think it's Henry Hall! 

When the shadows of the evening creep across the sky 
And your Mummy comes upstairs to sing a lullaby 
Tell her that the bogeyman no longer frightens you 
Uncle Henry's very kindly told you what to do 

Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman 
Don't let him come too close to you, He'll catch you if 
he can. 
Just pretend your teddy bear's a dog 
Then shout out, 'Fetch him, Teddy!' and he'll hop off 
like a frog. 

Say "Meoow", pretend that you're a cat 
He'll think you may scratch him that make him fall down 
flat 
Just pretend he isn't really there 
You will find that Bogey man will vanish in thin air 
Here's one way to catch him without fail Just keep a 
little salt with you and put it on his tail.
