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
