Bogey Man lyrics

Entwistle (c) 1978



When I was a kid my mother used to tell me

If you don`t behave and do what I say

I`m going to tell your Dad when he gets home

And there`ll be hell to pay

Pick yourself up off the floor

And put those toys away

Wash that face and hands

You`d think your skin was turning gray

The Bogeyman will get you

Sure as night turns into day

The Bogey man will get you

He`ll come and drag you away

Sit up straight and eat your greens

Stop playing with your food

Don`t pick your nose at the table

Go straight to bed, that`s very rude

So I spent the night with my head in the covers

Protected by electric light

When my Mom came in to say good night

I nearly died of fright

Chorus

The Bogeyman will get you

Sure as night turns into day

The Bogeyman will get you

He`ll come and drag you away

Now I`m all grown up I realize how silly kids can be

But I stay up all night with a baseball bat

That Bogeyman ain`t going to get me
