Oh Lord, I beseech you
To watch over me,
There's somethin' a-bumpin'
I can't hardly see;
I know it's a-lurkin'
Just out of my sight…
That thing in my bedroom
That thumps in the night.
My closet creaks open
(Or was it the floor?)
An' I see a shadow
I'd not seen before
When I stuffed my new jacket
In there out of sight…
Oh! Save me from ghosties
That thump in the night!
What's that I'm a-seein'
Crouched under my bed?
Dust bunnies a-plenty
Or somethin' to dread?
If I touch the floorboards
Those critters might bite!
I'm trapped by the shadows
That thump in the night.
Outside in the hallway
I hear somethin' pause,
An' scratch at my doorjamb
With sharp scary claws;
I sure hope my kitty,
Miss Priss, is alright
If she meets with those beasties
That thump in the night.
I lay quiet and listen
Here flat on my back
To the werewolves a-howlin'
Just like my dog Jack;
The winds are a-blowin'
An' moon's shinin' bright―
Begone, all you nightmares,
That thump in the night!
Thank goodness, it's morning
An' light fills my room
To chase all the beasties
That lurked in the gloom;
An' as for the bumpin'
That gave me such fright,
My heart was the loudest
That thumped in the night.
