I know the rats are watching, waiting
When the lights are out, they will crawl
See the spiders' webs in the corners
But on top of your head, they will fall
Be afraid, little ones, yes
For the fear keeps you safe
In a world full of creatures
That can know only hunger or hate
When you're all alone in the dark, crying
Monsters can hear you, and get you
If the Boogey Man comes looking, he'll find us
We cant see him, but he always sees you
Never sleep, little children, oh no
You must always be afraid to sleep
If you have a dream about the creatures
They will eat you alive in your dream
The scary sounds from outside, it's calling
And the shadows on your walls, they're from killers
So don't make any sounds, no weeping no balling
They will take you away with them, to the sewers
There the rats are waiting, hungry
And the first thing they will eat is your eyes
Then your ears and your tongue, devoured by creatures
Who want to hear little babies' cries
Hide now, little ones, yes
The monsters are coming tonight
From the darkness under your bed
And with razor- sharp teeth they'll bite
