Bogey Man Lyrics - Singles - 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
