Children gather round him Mystery surrounds him What terrible secret does he hide? An ordinary man Doing what he can But what goes on inside his mind? The night draws nigh With darkened skies Axe blade shines Midnight chimes Morning comes around Headless bodies found Our little friend just sits and smiles Take them home and love them Read the bible to them Be sure to kiss each one goodnight But come the night You'll freeze with fright Axe drawn high Another dies Creeping, ain't ya? And searching for victims unknowing What fate doth await round each corner They take in the night He's got you in his sight Now that I have warned you Always look behind you You'll never know just who'll be there That harmless looking dear May be the one to fear So never trust those you don't know But come the night You'll freeze with fright Axe drawn high The ba*tards die
