Lying a wake in the middle of the night
he could definitely hear something creaking.
He wanted somebody to put on the light
but the rest of his family was sleeping.

"I don't want to hear it, it's frightening me
I want to get under my covers.
But then I won't see, when it comes after me
which it will, when it's eaten the others."

He'd call out for mum, but couldn't risk shouting
so he started to whisper a prayer
Then a funny thing happened without any warning
his curtains were opened and mum said "Good morning."
