Scaredy Cat

Trembling in my bed tonight

I cannot close my eyes

The movie on the late, late show

Says everybody dies

Now some say I'm a scaredy cat

But tonight is Halloween

What if someone kidnaps me,

And tries to eat my spleen?

I know there's no great pumpkin

Okay, maybe there is

What if he puts a spell on me,

And tries to make me his?

And I think that there's a monster

Who lives beneath my bed

I shiver and shake and stay awake

With covers over my head

There's something outside my window

And shadows on my wall

I think I hear some rattling chains

From the ghosts that's in the hall

Right then I hear this eerie voice

And feel this clammy hand

My wife says, "Hush and go to sleep,

You're supposed to be a man"
