The Bogeyman Lyrics
Last night I dreamed I sailed the seven seas
I'd spoken Mandarin there with ease
I crossed the mountains, through the meadows
I followed the breeze...
When a soldier came to ask me who I was was
And why I was singing?
So I told him tales of many things
And not to fear what I was thinking
He said in Americae they'll boil your bones
They'll eat your eyes for dinner
I'd go back to where you come from
Maybe there you'll fare much better
So I told him of a mermaid, that I met the other day
And that he could have her address if I could pass
If I could pass this wayIt's oh such a shame we're oh so afraid
Don't you know that it's all in the game
It's only a bogeyman knockin' my door
But he don't live here no moreIn Washington I met a man
Who read to all his neighbors
He made a pact to save them
From mysterious invaders
Then he clapped his hands
And stamped his feet
And he sailed the seven seas
Then he chained them all to dollar bills
And told them they were free
Because in Africa they'll boil your bones
They'll eat your eyes for dinner
So go back to where you all belong and maybe
You'll feel, maybe we'll feel betterIt's oh such a shame, we're oh so afraid
Don't you know that it's all in the game
It's only a bogeyman knockin' my door
But he don't live here any moreIt's oh such a shame we're oh so afraid
Don't you know that it's all in the game
It's only a bogeyman knockin my door
But he don't live here no moreIt's only a bogeyman knockin' my door
It's only a bogeyman knockin' my door
