Thud, Thud, Thud,
Goes something in the night,
Thud, Thud, Thud,
You think you’ll die of fright.
Pat, Pat, Pat,
Your slippers down the hall,
Pat, Pat, Pat,
You couldn’t sleep at all.
Chich, Chich, Psh,
Went the match book in one hand,
Chich, Chich, Psh,
The candle lit the land.

Rattle, Rattle, Rattle,
Went the door knob as it turned,
Rattle, Rattle, Rattle,
Your stomach got the churns.
Gulp, Gulp, Gulp,
Goes the lump inside your throat,
Gulp, Gulp, Gulp,
The hall is like a moat.
Rub, Rub, Rub,
Went the loose nail on the boards,
Rub, Rub, Rub,
You’ve made it to the door.

Step, step, step,
Down the stairs you go,
Step, step, step,
Down to the cellar below.
Creak, Creak, Creak,
The wood makes known your feet,
Creak, Creak, Creak,
Turn now and you might freak.
Stomp, Stomp, Stomp,
Too late to turn back now,
Stomp, Stomp, Stomp,
Your mother would have a cow!

Drip, Drip, Drip,
Goes the pipes beneath the walls,
Drip, Drip, Drip,
Perhaps the monsters jaws.
Growl, Growl, Growl,
Went the movements of the house,
Growl, Growl, Growl,
Maybe a giant mouse?
Closer, Closer, Closer,
You draw to the hideous thing,
Closer, Closer, Closer,
You hear the alarm clock RING!
