Late night again, it's time to go to sleep

Like every child you have to go

But you don't want to, you are afraid of the dark

Don't wanna meet the boogyman

Just last night he was after you, you had to run away from him all night

Oh, mother please, could I sleep next to you?

So you can slay him if he comes



No, my little darling, you cannot kill the boogyman

Every time you do it, he comes back knife in hand

If you try to hide, find you he will

Try to be faster, the boogyman you can not kill



You have to sleep alone, there's no one here with you

The night begins when lights go off

You are petrified, hardly dare to breath

Listen to the rustles from around

You sence the boogyman, feel he's watching you

Knowing that soon you have to run

You have a plan, don't wanna fear no more

You know where father keeps his gun



No, my little darling, you cannot kill the boogyman

Every time you do it, he comes back knife in hand

If you try to hide, find you he will

Try to be faster, the boogyman you can not kill
