Don't you know about the bogey man
He will come and take you by the hand
Take you from this pleasant land and away
Don't you know about the sandman
Comes at night and takes you by the hand
Takes you from your Bedford land and away
Sing Children Sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
Don't you know about the child catcher
Throw you in a cage much faster
Than your slowly changing childhood days have gone away
Don't you know about the ogre man
He will come and take you by the hand
He will eat you just where you stand
And you're gone away
So sing children sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
Have you heard about Uncle Sam
He will always make a stand
Come and free you and take command
And then stay
Have you heard about his best friend
Winning smile and curly hair
And like a best friend he's always there
And he will stay
So sing children sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
He will come and take you by the hand
Take you from this pleasant land and away
Don't you know about the sandman
Comes at night and takes you by the hand
Takes you from your Bedford land and away
Sing Children Sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
Don't you know about the child catcher
Throw you in a cage much faster
Than your slowly changing childhood days have gone away
Don't you know about the ogre man
He will come and take you by the hand
He will eat you just where you stand
And you're gone away
So sing children sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
Have you heard about Uncle Sam
He will always make a stand
Come and free you and take command
And then stay
Have you heard about his best friend
Winning smile and curly hair
And like a best friend he's always there
And he will stay
So sing children sing
Come into the light right now
And sing
