Bump In The Night

When I was younger
I'd wrap my two covers
Around me so very tight
Made a cocoon of bed sheets
And they would protect me
From things that go bump in the night

I'd ask my father
Could he check the closet
And please leave on the bathroom light
This would keep them away
Hold the darkness at bay
And the things that go bump in the night

He said 'ooh there's not a ghost of a chance
I'd let any harm come to kid'
He said 'ooh I will sit right here with you'
And for years that's what he did
You'll be alright
They're just things that go bump in the night

He said 'ooh there's not a ghost of a chance
I'd let anything whisk you away.'
He said ooh it's fine to be scared of the dark
Just for now cause you won't be someday

Turns out he was right
As the years went rolling by
I said farewell to the things
That go bump on the night
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
