    • Verse 1
    It 
    was 
    late 

    last 

    Friday 
    evening, 

    there was 
    nobody 
    home 
    but 
    me 

    Turned 
    up 
    every 
    light in 
    the house, 

    I turned 
    up 
    the 

    TV 

    Channel 
    5 
    was 
    a snowstorm, 

    7 was 
    said and 
    done 

    Channel 
    13's 
    a nightmare, 

    theater 
    was the 
    only 
    thing 
    on 

    Oh, 
    no, 
    no, 
    no, 
    no 

    Well, 
    all 
    through 
    that 
    movie 

    The 
    sound 
    came 
    more 
    and more 

    Sounds 
    like 
    tapping 
    on 
    the 
    window 

    It 
    sounds 
    like 
    footsteps 

    across 
    the floor 

    Knew 
    that 
    it was 
    watching 
    me 

    As 
    I 
    figured 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    How 
    long 
    it would 
    take 

    to flip 
    the 
    switch 

    and 
    run 
    to 
    bed 

    But 
    you better 
    not 

    run 
    too slow 

    It's 
    gonna 
    get 
    to 
    you 
    if it 
    can, 

    that's 
    the 
    book 
    of man. 

    You 
    won't 
    see 
    me 
    move 
    no 
    faster 

    than 
    when 
    I 
    jump 
    in 
    bed. 

    Won't 
    see 
    my 
    face 
    till morning, 

    I keep 
    my 
    covers 
    across 
    my 
    head. 

    Gets 
    kinda 
    hot 
    and stuffy 

    while 
    I 
    pray 
    for 
    my 
    soul. 

    So 
    I 
    don't 
    get 
    to 
    how to 

    make a 
    little breathing 
    hole, 

    But 
    I 
    don't 
    make 
    it 
    too 
    big 

    It's 
    gonna 
    get 
    you 
    if 
    it 
    can 

    It's 
    the, 
    the 

    Boogeyman 

    Well 
    he's 
    out 
    there 
    some
    where 

    I 
    can 
    feel 
    his 
    eyes 
    as 
    they're 

    sliding 
    down 
    my 
    backbone 

    I 
    can ask 
    you, 

    well 
    there's 
    a 
    short 
    sound 

    An
    d 
    the 
    scraping 
    sound 
    of 
    closets 

    coming 
    right 
    from underneath 
    my 
    bed 

    And 
    I 
    can feel 
    it every 
    time my 
    heart 
    beats 

    All 
    they'll 
    find 
    in the 
    morning 

    are 
    my 
    empty 
    sheets 

    Start 
    again 
    now, 

    the boogie 
    man 

    Interlude 1
    Boogie 
    man 





    Verse 2
    Well, 
    I found 
    out where 
    his dungeon 
    is 

    My 
    brother 
    bargained 
    hard 
    in 
    his 
    teens 

    But he 
    spilled 
    the beans 

    for 
    three 
    steelies 

    And a 

    Willie 

    Mays 
    card 

    He 
    said, 
    go down 
    the 

    Taylor 

    Swamp 

    Through 
    the 
    tangled 
    vines 
    and 
    mud 

    And call 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    his 
    faucets 

    They're 
    always 
    dripping 
    blood 

    But you'd 
    better 
    not go 
    at 
    night 

    It's 
    gonna 
    get 
    spooky 



    Don't 
    you know 
    his 
    dungeon's 

    made 
    of 
    fingernails 
    and 
    bones 

    From 
    all 
    the 
    kids 
    he 
    drug 
    from beds 
    and 

    tracked 
    them 
    to 
    their 
    homes 

    He's 
    got 
    little 
    legs 
    on 
    his tables, 

    little 
    hands 
    on 
    his clumsy 

    Take 
    a 
    couple 
    of belly 
    buttons 
    and you 

    stretch 
    them 
    out 
    for socks 

    And 
    it's 
    not 
    very 
    nice 

    It's 
    gonna 
    get 
    you 
    if 
    it 
    can't 

    You 
    better 
    not 
    talk 
    about 
    it 

    Man 

    Well 
    I'm 
    not 
    afraid 
    of 
    dying 

    We're 
    fast 
    or 
    slow 

    And 
    I'm 
    not 
    afraid 
    of 

    Sunday 
    school 

    I 
    cannot 
    stand 
    to 
    go 

    Tell 
    one 
    midnight 
    story, 

    full 
    of 
    nocturnal 
    things 

    Gonna 
    wet 
    my 
    mattress, 
    brother, 

    clean 
    me 
    through 
    to the 
    springs 

    And 
    I'll 
    be ly
    ing 
    cold 
    and wet 
    with 
    fright 

    Oh, 
    but 
    I 
    won't 
    move 
    all 
    night 

    Cause 
    I'm 
    a little 
    bit of 
    a 

    Boogeyman

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
