Close Your Eyes

slowly, softly, and quite loose

Close your eyes and sleep
There are demons in your dreams

Go to sleep my darling
there's a demon underneath your bed

Demons in your bed
will eat you up

Stay in your bed
There are landmines on the floor.
The demons in your bed
are going to eat you up

Sugar and spice and everything nice
Why do you think we say that?
So the demons in your bed
will want to eat you up

    You used to have a sister
    She wouldn't go to sleep
    The demons in her bed
    Ate her up

Baby don't you cry
or the demons won't wait until you're asleep
before they eat you up

Do not call for your mother;
Who is it you think who let the demons in
to eat you up?

Snakes and Snails and Puppydog tails;
Who can account for the tastes of demons?

The demons in your bed
are going to eat you up

    My father sang this song to me
    But he slipped and fell on a landmine
    And the Demons underneath my bed
    Ate him up
