It's slurping and huffing With red glowing eyes-- Snuffling and snorting It plans your demise. It's slimy, it's ugly with razor-like claws. Don't let yourself sleep-- You'll be in its jaws. Don't let yourself nod. Don't let yourself dream-- Or the sound in your ears Might be your own scream. When your heart is beating like a drum very near-- Grab that monster by the throat, kid. Then stuff it back in your ear.
