Here Comes the Boogey Man

Here Comes the Boogey Man - Henry Hall & His Orchestra

Children have you ever met the bogey man 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 bogey man

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 the bogey man will run away a mile

Say shoo shoo and stick him with a pin

Bogey man will very nearly jump out of his skin

Say buzz buzz just like the wasp that stings

Bogey man will think you are an elephant with wings

Hush hush hush here comes the bogey man

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

Bogey man 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 bogey man no longer frightens you

Uncle henry's very kindly told you what to do

Hush hush hush here comes the bogey man

Don't let him come too close to you he'll catch you if he can

Just pretend your teddy bear's a dog

And shout out fetch him teddy and he'll hop off like a frog

Say miaoow he'll think 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 the bogey man will finish in thin air

Here's one way to catch him without fail

Just keep a little salt with you

And pop it on his tail
