Bogey Man — текст песни (John Entwistle)

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
