Смысл текста песни "Hush Hush Here Comes the Bogeyman" исполнителя "Henry Hall"

Children have you ever met the Bogeyman before?

No, of course you haven't for you're much too good, I'm sure;

Don't you be afraid of him if he should visit you,

He's a great big coward, so I'll tell You what to do:

Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman,

Don't let him come too close to you, he'll catch you if he can.

Just pretend that you're a crocodile

And you will find that Bogeyman will run away a mile.

Say "Shoo shoo" and stick him with a pin

Bogeyman will very nearly jump out of his skin

Say "buzz buzz" just like the wasps that sting

Bogeyman will think you are an elephant with wings

Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman

Tell him you've got soldiers in your bed

For he will never guess that they are only made of lead

Say "Hush hush", he'll think that you're asleep

If you make a lovely snore away he'll softly creep

Sing this tune you children one and all

Bogeyman will run away, he'll think it's Henry Hall!

When the shadows of the evening creep across the sky

And your Mummy comes upstairs to sing a lullaby

Tell her that the bogeyman no longer frightens you

Uncle Henry's very kindly told you what to do

Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman

Don't let him come too close to you, he'll catch you if he can.

Just pretend your teddy bear's a dog

Then shout out, 'Fetch him, Teddy!' and he'll hop off like a frog.

Say "Meoow", pretend that you're a cat

He'll think you may scratch him that make him fall down flat

Just pretend he isn't really there

You will find that Bogey man will vanish in thin air

Here's one way to catch him without fail

Just keep a little salt with you

And put it on his tail
