Life Doesn't Frighten Me

Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesnt frighten me at all
Bad dogs barking loud
Ghosts in a cloud
Life doesnt frighten me at all.

Mean old Mother Goose
Lions on the loose
They dont frighten me at all
Dragons breathing flame
On my counterpane
That doesnt frighten me at all.

I go boo
Make them shoo
I make fun
Way they run
I wont cry
So they fly
I just smile
They go wild
Life doesnt frighten me at all.

Tough guys in a fight
All alone at night
Life doesnt frighten me at all
Panthers in the park
Strangers in the dark
No, they dont frighten me at all.

That new classroom where
Boys all pull my hair
(Kissy little girls
with their hair in curls)
They dont frighten me at all.

Dont show me frogs and snakes
And listen for my scream,
If Im afraid at all
Its only in my dreams.

Ive got a magic charm
That I keep up my sleeve,
I can walk the ocean floor
And never have to breathe.

Life doesnt frighten me at all
Not at all
Not at all.
Life doesnt frighten me at all.
