Song Description

Nightmares in the dark.

Lyrics

Scaredy Boy
©, Willie McCulloch, 2005

An awfae thing a whisper in the darkness
An open door bangin` in the wind
A howlin` ghost singin` up a dark close
12 O?clock at midnight all the buried souls will rise again

A cold breath pantin` in the corner
Two beady eyes about tae make a move
For the jugular corroted then pull yer heart out
Another lonely victim of an overworked imagination

Cold sweat runnin` doon
O yer just a mammy?s boy a scaredy boy a scaredy boy
Locked inside this room
O yer just a mammy?s boy a scaredy boy a scaredy boy
O yer just a mammy?s boy everyone can see
O yer just a mammy?s boy a scaredy boy a scaredy boy
The boogie man will get ye and he?ll have ye fer his tea

Common sense will tell ye there?s nothin` to be afraid of
It?s just the lack o light playin` tricks upon the brain
All the things they taught in school they never mentioned this one
How turning off the light at night could drive a lad insane.

Cold sweat runnin` doon
O yer just a mammy?s boy a scared boy a scared boy
Locked inside this room
O yer just a mammy?s boy a scaredy boy a scaredy boy
O yer just a mammy?s boy everyone can see
O yer just a mammy's boy a scaredy boy a scaredy boy
The boogie man will get ye and he?ll have ye fer his tea
