Ghoulies

Watch out kiddies

Here they come

If you don't like ghoulies

You'd better run

They're creeping out

From under the bed

From out of the closet

And under the spread

They're making these weird

And unearthly squeals

I'm not even sure

These ghoulies aren't real

Mom says they surely

Are all in my head

I can feel this bumping

Under my bed

Can't pull up the covers

They're under there too

I just saw one

Wearing my shoes

Shrieking and squealing

These scary sounds

I couldn't move

They're all around!

Then a strange little fellow

Wearing my shoes

Started dancing and singing

Bout stuff in the zoo

I started to giggle

At this comical sight

Forgot about how

I was rigid with fright

The song he was singing

Was a happy refrain

No longer frightened

Started giggling again

I enjoyed his antics

As he danced around

Swaying back and forth

With these cheerful sounds

A feeling of drowsiness

Crept over me soon

Could see out my window

The big yellow moon

My fears disappeared

And I drifted to sleep

As a bunch of ghoulies

Started tickling my feet
