When the clock strikes twelve, and shadows creep,

Listen now. Listen now.

We cannot fall asleep.

When the wind howls low and the floorboards creak,

It is close. It is close.

We must not make a peep.

When it knocks on the door, and its claws, they do meet,

The latch. The latch.

Courage, we must keep.

When it is inside, smiling with its teeth,

Stay safe. Stay safe.

We must play hide and seek.
