Here Comes the Bogeyman

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

But you're a crocodile and you will find that Bogeyman will run away a mile Say shushu and stick him with a pin Bogeyman will very nearly jump out of his skin Say 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. Hey, hush, hush! You'll think that you're asleep. If you make a loveless snore away, he'll softly creep.

Sing this tune, you children won and 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 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 bears a dog Then shout out Fetch him Teddy, and he'll hop off like a frog.

Same yow! Pretend that you're a cat, he'll think you may scratch and that will make him fall down flat. Just pretend he isn't really there. You will find that Bogeyman will finish in thinner. Here's one way to catch him without fail.

Just keep a little salt with you and put it.
