Bennett Salvay - Here Comes The Boogey Man

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 If you make a lovely snore away he'll softly creep 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
