Every night as the moon
Makes its climb
Every soul, man, woman, child

Hits the chime
One by one
Their gaze is drawn

As they raise their eyes
A magic flicks on


It all starts with the tap of the feet
Then shudders up to the clicking to the beat
Can you feel it, can you drink in the skies

The beast is here I can see him in your eyes
Hamish! Hamish!


The monster under your bed and behind a cupboard door
Shudders through your body 'til your foot taps the floor
Boogie Violet eyes and three piece suit withspats apiece

And a long dark tail to stamp out the beat
Hamish! Hamish!


He's got steel hair all over his skin
With a braided goatee beard at the end of his chin
He cracks his fingers and cackles to the skies

Then slams down on the keys all through the night

Broken bass strings fall from his head

In a tousled groove of steel
Gleaming horn bells rise from the depths
And play a tune unreal


Hamish, Hamish
Please guide them to a beat

Lord of the tapping feet
Bringer of the tune when we can't sleep
Hamish, Hamish

Please, please Ohh
Lord of the tapping feet
Bringer of the tune when we can't sleep


Hahahahahahaha!
Hamish! Hamish!

Hamish! Hamish!
Ha Ha Ha Ha!
