Late night again, it's time to go to sleep Like every child you have to go But you don't want to, you are afraid of the dark Don't wanna meet the boogyman Just last night he was after you, you had to run away from him all night Oh, mother please, could I sleep next to you? So you can slay him if he comes No, my little darling, you cannot kill the boogyman Every time you do it, he comes back knife in hand If you try to hide, find you he will Try to be faster, the boogyman you can not kill You have to sleep alone, there's no one here with you The night begins when lights go off You are petrified, hardly dare to breath Listen to the rustles from around You sense the boogyman, feel he's watching you Knowing that soon you have to run You have a plan, don't wanna fear no more You know where father keeps his gun No, my little darling, you cannot kill the boogyman Every time you do it, he comes back knife in hand If you try to hide, find you he will Try to be faster, the boogyman you can not kill
