Things that go bump in the night, fill us with fright
Upstairs or downstairs you might, hear things that go bump in the night.
Is it dad coming home from working late at night?
Is he just switching off the hall and landing light?
Do his new slippers really make that squeaky sound?
We can hear everything echoing around.
Things that go bump in the night, fill us with fright
Upstairs or downstairs you might, hear things that go bump in the night.
Could it be that the dog is having dreams again?
Chasing rabbits or herding sheep into a pen
Is the wind blowing through the rooftops of our house?
Is that scratching just the sound of a hungry mouse?
Things that go bump in the night, fill us with fright
Upstairs or downstairs you might, hear things that go bump in the night.
Of the thumping and bumping in the night we hear,
We know that there is really nothing here to fear.
No need to be afraid of noises anymore
But we sleep underneath the pillow to be sure.
Things that go bump in the night, fill us with fright
Upstairs or downstairs you might, hear things that go bump in the night.
