"In My Room At Night"

What's that knocking underneath my bed? Awide-eyed zombie or a shrunken head?
What was that my mother said?
Ain't no reason to fear the dead!

What's that sitting on my night stand?
A big atomic spider or a severed hand?
What was that my sister said?
They're coming to get you! You're almost dead!

In my room at night
Round about midnight
When it's dark as sin
All the monsters come in!

They sit around my room
And watch me shiver
Wait for me to sleep
So they can eat me for dinner!

What's that rolling across my floor?
A seeing eyeball or a man-o-war?
What was that my daddy said?
Don't be afraid or you'll lose your head!

What's that creeping behind my wall?
A mummy in the closet, a ghost in the hall?
What was that my brother said?
You're never really safe at night in bed!

In my room at night
Round about midnight
When it's dark as sin
All the monsters come in

They sit around my room
And watch me shiver
Wait for me to sleep
So they can eat me for dinner!
What do you think this song is about?

When I wrote it, I was remembering when I was a little kid and everything at night was so scary!  A shirt hanging on a hook looked like a ghost; a toy on my dresser looked like an insect. Sometimes I slept with my lights on!
