Here Comes the Boogey Man
Children, have you ever met the Boogeyman 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 Boogeyman
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 Boogeyman will run away a mile!
Say Shoo-shoo
And stick him with a pin
Boogeyman will very nearly jump out of his skin!
Say buzz buzz
Just like the wasps that stings
Boogeyman will think you are an elephant with wings!
Hush, hush, hush
Here comes the Boogeyman!
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
If you make a lovely snore away he'll softly creep!
Sing this tune
You children one and all
Boogeyman 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 Boogeyman no longer frightens you
Uncle Henry's very kindly told you what to do
Hush, hush, hush
Here comes the Boogeyman
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,' he'll hop off like a frog!
Say Meow
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!
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 Boogeyman
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 Boogeyman will run away a mile!
Say Shoo-shoo
And stick him with a pin
Boogeyman will very nearly jump out of his skin!
Say buzz buzz
Just like the wasps that stings
Boogeyman will think you are an elephant with wings!
Hush, hush, hush
Here comes the Boogeyman!
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
If you make a lovely snore away he'll softly creep!
Sing this tune
You children one and all
Boogeyman 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

Hush, hush, hush

Don't let him come too close to you

Here's one way to catch him without fail
Just keep a little salt with you
And put it on his tail!
