John Entwistle - 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
