SCARY MARY

Scary Mary

Scary Mary walks the streets she wanders through the park
She haunts the lanes and alleyways especially when it`s dark. 

She roams the primary school corridors by night and by day
She follows all the children she whispers come and play.

You’ll feel her cold breath on your neck her heart is filled with rage.
She`s reading every word with you as you turn the page.

Don’t go in the school toilets especially on your own
As the door creeks shuts behind you and Mary starts to moan,

She`ll chase you to your classroom although you’ve only heard her cry
And the teachers won’t believe you however hard you try.

You`ll only see her if she wants to, in her black cloak and black hood
Appearing in the distance as your walking in the wood.

As she makes her way towards you, she looks feeble and so old
And then she lifts her hood up, and she makes your blood run cold.


If you go out playing and you take a shortcut home
don’t go down unlit alleys where Mary`s sure to roam.

She`ll sometimes cast a shadow you`ll sometimes hear her cry
And then you`ll hear her foot steps as if she`s walking by.

But don’t turn around to see her or listen to her cry
And if she lifts her veil up don’t look into her eye.

For Mary had no children she once lived all alone
And now she looks for boys or girls to call her very own.

Her house is old the rooms are dark the walls and floors are bare
She has a secret room for you it`s hidden up the stair.

So run home fast and don’t look back and don’t let Mary catch you
Or she`ll take you to her haunted house and that`s where she will keep you.
THE END`
