The witching hour:
Cuddle in my blanket,
Snuggle in with me,
Night time has approached,
Pitch darkness occurs,
It is the dead of the night,
The witching hour is upon us,
Little children hug your parents,
Hide behind their blanket covers
You will fear the future,
As everything is yet to come,
Nightmares begin at the witching hour,
The morning you love,
The witching hour you hate,
Beware there is more to come,
In the witching hour the ghosts, monsters and demons appear,
Go to bed little children but beware the witching hour is upon us!
