Dark In The Dark by Max Schreck & Saddlebag

There were a few worried parents after this 'baby' first screamed on the Play And Record Halloween special, a few years ago! Max later said: "I'm just a somnambulist tram driver turned singer, with thirteen mouths to feed. If kids today can't suspend their disbelief, then I'm a monkey's uncle… when I was a nipper, I used to have to share a windowless bedroom with grandma Bessie's ghost hyena. It was no laughing matter - but it never did me any harm".


Beware, take care, when climbing the stairs to bed


We’re dark in the dark, we’re not dark now X4


Long hands arms & nails

Creeping up your sheets like snails

Garishly green

Like nothing that you ‘aint seen


CHORUS

Is it in your head?

Or under your bed?

You decide

Is it just a dream?

Will it make you scream?

Perhaps you’d better hide away

Tuck up in your sheets - deep down inside (away)


We’re dark in the dark, we’re not dark now X 4


Super-sneakily  small

Hiding in a hole in the wall

Super-duper sized

In your wardrobe in disguise


CHORUS


Oh, I couldn’t stay for tea possibly. Well, ok, if you’re making it I suppose I could. Thankyou. Delicious.


We’re dark in the dark, we’re not dark now X 4


CHORUS


In the bathroom up to no good

Covered in slime & blood

Outside your window

Pretty as the Face Of Boe!


CHORUS


There’s worse things than being in the dark

Like have you seen that great big monster in the park?

Only kidding…


Beware, take care, when climbing the stairs to bed


Snips and snails and puppy dog’s tails, that’s what little boys are made of


We’re dark in the dark, we’re not dark now....


Sugar and spice and all things nice, thats what little girls are made of


Come on, up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire

The land of nod, forty winks, snoozies, time to kip, kipper time Who wants a kippper? Me. Mmm... delicious, have it for breakfast, got to sleep first, got to sleep first - then the kipper for breakfast. Delicious. Mmm...can’t wait.


Sweet dreams. Sweet breams. Breams for breakfast. Breams and kippers for breakfast. Fishy breakfast. Oh delicious. Kedgeree, perhaps a kedgeree. With all that bream left over theres bound to be enough for a kedgeree....
