Bogy Man

So you missed your connection
And then you lost your money
And you couldn't think of anything to do
But to wait 'till morning
Just didn't take your fancy
And so you started feeling blue

Who's this guy strolling around
With a sympathetic gleam in his eye
Baby, he's looking right at you
He sees you're trying not to cry
And he says: Don't worry, honey
I know you won't believe it
But I can help you make it through the night
Then he smiles kind of friendly
And touches you real gently
You start to get the feeling he's own right

Watch out
He's the local bogy man
Watch out
He wants your body

So he picked up your suitcase
And put it in his buggy
And said you should follow his advice
And before you were much older
You knew you were bowled over
Because his long black hair was combed so nice

I sat at home
Watching my TV
While my little girl and the bogy man
Were taking it easy
Yeah, they took it easy
Without me
Here at my home
Thinking she would come
While the telephone stood in the corner
Saying nothing
And wasn't even ringing

Who's this guy on the photograph
And why should he be holding your hand
Why on earth weren't you home that night
And what do you mean I don't understand
So you missed your connection
And then you lost your money
And you couldn't think of anything to do
So you went to your sister's
And had to wait 'till morning
So far away it made you feel so blue

Watch out
He's the local bogy man
Watch out
He wants your body

I sat at home
Watching my TV
While my little girl and the bogy man
Were taking it easy
Yeah, they took it easy
Without me
Here at my home
Thinking she would come
While the telephone stood in the corner
Saying nothing
And wasn't even ringing
