The Babadook

by dametrias   Feb 16, 2014


If it's in a word, or if it's in a book
you can't get rid of the Babadook.
He wears a hat
he's tall and black
but that's how they describe him in his book.
A rumbling sound, than three sharp knocks
you better run, or he'll hold you in his locks.
ba-ba-ba-dook-dook-dook...
Your closet opens
and your honestly hopin'
that he won't hear a sound
but that's when you know that he's around.
The book close
you have an itch under your nose
and that's just how the story goes.
So close your eyes and count to ten
better hope you don't wake up again.
'Cause if it's in a word, or if it's in a book
you can't get rid of the Babadook
.... you'll see him if you look

    If it's word or it's in a look you can't get rid of the Babadook.
    If you're really a clever one and you know what it is to see
    Then you can make friends with a special one a friend of you and me.
    His name is Mister Babadook and this is his book.

    A rumbling sound and three sharp knocks ba Ba ba Dook Dook Dook
    That's when you'll know that he's around you'll see him if you look
    This is what he wears on top he's funny don't you think?
    See him in your room at night and you won't sleep a wink.

    I'll soon take of my funny disguise take heed of what you've read
    and once you see what's underneath you're going to wish you were dead

    I'll wager with you. I'll make you a bet. The more you deny the stronger I get.
    You start to change when I get in the Babadook growing right under your skin
    Oh come, come see what's underneath!
