The Babadook

If it's in a word, or it's in a book,

You can't get rid of the Babadook.

If you're a really clever one,

And know what it is to see,

Then you can make friends with the special one,

A friend to you and me.

His name is Mister Babadook,

And this is is book.

A rumbling sound then three sharp knocks,

BA-BA DOOK DOOK DOOK!

That's how 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.

He'll soon take off his funny disguise,

Take heed of what you've read,

And once you've seen what's underneath,

You're going to wish that you were dead.

I’ll wager with you.

I’ll make 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.

Let me in.

Oh, come! Come see what’s underneath!
