Lullaby for Babe Lyrics

Right before we say goodnight and tuck you into bed

I grab another hug and press my lips upon your head

Just before I shut the door and leave you for the night

I reassure you that everything will be alright

All you need to do is follow every simple rule

And don't forget a thing that I'm about to tell you

Say your prayers before you turn out the light

Grab your favorite teddy bear and hold it tight

As soon as you close your eyes, be prepared to fight

The Boogeyman is hungry and he only eats at night

Once you fall asleep and you think you hear an awful scream

You'll have to count to ten, and tell yourself it's just a dream

Your imagination will start to smear and blur

Just find a happy place, or it will feel so much worse

Say your prayers before you turn out the light

Grab your favorite teddy bear and hold it tight

As soon as you close your eyes, be prepared to fight

The Boogeyman is hungry and he only eats at night

Once you're dreaming in the dark and truly, deeply scared

The Devil sends his dogs to pile on the fear

Hopefully you'll have the knowledge and the fortitude

The proper self defense and mental attitude

Check your closet as you turn out the light

Grab your favorite firearm, and hold it tight

As soon as you close your eyes, it becomes a fight

The Boogeyman is starving and he loves to eat at night

Slumber is right here

But sweet dreams are so rare

Beware of nightmares

Such a sin when the Boogeymen win

Right before we say goodnight and tuck you into bed

I grab another hug and press my lips upon your head

Just before I shut the door and leave you for the night

I reassure you that everything will be alright

All you need to do is make through your dreams and then

The Boogeyman will leave, but he'll be back yet again

Slumber is right here

But sweet dreams are so rare

Beware of nightmares

Such a sin when the Boogeymen win
