for your 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 with me, can't he? Just pretend that you're a crocodile and you will find

That bogeyman will run away a mile And stick him with a pin Bogeyman will very nearly jump out of his skin See buzz buzz Just like the wasp that stings Bogeyman will think you are an elephant with wings Hosh, hosh, hosh 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 loveless nor a way he'll softly creep. Sing this tune, you children want an all.

Boogie man will run away, he'll think it's Henry Hall. When the shadows of the evening creep across the sky, and your mommy comes upstairs to sing a lullaby. That the Bogeyman no longer frightens you.

Uncle Henry's very kindly told you what to do. Harsh, harsh, harsh. Here comes the Bogeyman. Don't let him come too close to you. He'll catch you if he can. Just pretend. Your teddy bears a dog.

Then shout out, fetch him teddy. He'll hop off like a frog. I'll pretend that you're a cat. He'll think you may scratch him. That will make him fall down flat. Just pretend he isn't really there You will find that Bogeyman will finish in thinner There's one way to catch him without fail Just keep a little salt with you and put it on his tail
