The Bogeyman Lyrics - Ranagri

Last night I dreamed I sailed the seven seas 

I'd spoken Mandarin there with ease 

I crossed the mountains, through the meadows 

I followed the breeze... 

When a soldier came to ask me who I was was 

And why I was singing? 

So I told him tales of many things 

And not to fear what I was thinking 

He said in Americae they'll boil your bones 

They'll eat your eyes for dinner 

I'd go back to where you come from 

Maybe there you'll fare much better 

So I told him of a mermaid, that I met the other day 

And that he could have her address if I could pass 

If I could pass this way 

It's oh such a shame we're oh so afraid 

Don't you know that it's all in the game 

It's only a bogeyman knockin' my door 

But he don't live here no more 

In Washington I met a man 

Who read to all his neighbors 

He made a pact to save them 

From mysterious invaders 

Then he clapped his hands 

And stamped his feet 

And he sailed the seven seas 

Then he chained them all to dollar bills 

And told them they were free 

Because in Africa they'll boil your bones 

They'll eat your eyes for dinner 

So go back to where you all belong and maybe 

You'll feel, maybe we'll feel better 

It's oh such a shame, we're oh so afraid 

Don't you know that it's all in the game 

It's only a bogeyman knockin' my door 

But he don't live here any more 

It's oh such a shame we're oh so afraid 

Don't you know that it's all in the game 

It's only a bogeyman knockin my door 

But he don't live here no more 

It's only a bogeyman knockin' my door 

It's only a bogeyman knockin' my door
