Baby close your eyes
It’s time to go to sleep
There are demons in your dreams
Demons under your bed
The demons underneath your bed
Will eat you up.

Baby don’t cry
Or the demons won’t wait ’till you’re asleep
The demons underneath your bed
Will eat you up.

Sugar and spice and everything nice
Why do you think we say that?
The demons underneath your bed
will want to eat you up

You used to have a sister
She wouldn’t go to sleep
The demons in her bed
Ate her up

Baby, stay in bed
‘Cuz there are landmines on the floor.
The demons underneath your bed
Will eat you up.

Snakes and Snails and Puppydog tails;
Who can account for the tastes of demons?
The demons underneath your bed
Will eat you up.

Don’t call for your mother;
Who do you think let the demons in
The demons underneath your bed
Will eat you up.

My father sang this song to me
But he slipped and fell on a landmine
And the demons underneath my bed
Ate him up

That is not a blanket…
(very long, poignant pause)
(spoken) Goodnight
