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 wasp that stings
Boogeyman will think you are an elephant with wings
Hush hush hush
Here comes the Boogeyman
Tell him you 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 mommy comes
Upstairs to sing a lullaby
Tell her that the Boogeyman no longer frightens you
Uncle Henry 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 you can
Just pretend your teddy bear's a dog
Then shout out "Fetch him teddy"
And he'll hop off like a frog
Say "meow"
Pretend that you're a cat
He'll will think you may scratch and
That will make him fall down flat
Just pretend he isn't really there
You will find that Boogeyman will vanish in thin air
Here's One Way
To catch him withour fail
Just keep a little salt with you and
Put it on his tail
