Short Scary Stories

Hushabye

Hushabye baby close your eyes,

Go to sleep 'til the sun does rise,

Dream of toys, and cookies and pie,

But go to sleep and hushabye.

Rest your head on your pillow tonight,

Try not to think that the monsters might bite,

Dream of sunshine and playing I Spy,

But go to sleep and hushabye.

Don't be awake when midnight draws near,

Try to pretend that there's nothing to fear,

Don't have nightmares, try not to cry,

Go to sleep and hushabye.

If you stay up when the moon's in the sky,

You may fall victim to the Hushabye.

Eyes that are empty, hair that's like snakes,

The children awake are the ones that she takes.

So, hushaby baby, please go to sleep,

Or mommy and daddy will have reason to weep,

When we open your door to find you not there,

And the Hushabye's taken you to we don't know where...
