Tamika Lawrence - The Chokey Chant lyrics

[NIGEL] Oh, Matilda! They're saying she's going to put me in Chokey! [MATILDA] What . . . What's Chokey? [NIGEL] They say it's a cupboard in her office that she throws children into. They say she's lined it with nails, and spikes, and bits of broken gla** [BIG KIDS] There's a place you are sent if you haven't been good [BIG KID (Ben Thompson)] And it's made of spikes and wood [BIG KIDS] And it isn't wide enough to sit [BIG KID (Taylor Trensch)] And even if you could [BIG KIDS] There are nails on the bottom [BIG KID (Taylor Trensch)] So you wish you'd – [BIG KIDS] Stood! When the hinges creak and the door is closed You cannot see squat – [BIG KID (Tamika Sonja Lawrence)] Not the end of your nose [BIG KIDS] And when you scream, you don't know if the sound came out Or if the scream in your head even reached your mouth! Auuurrrgh!
