Things You Hear In the Night

Run friends as fast as you can
From this dreadful land
Be wary of a terrible sight
Of things that go "Blasty Blang Beedle Bum Bang" in the night!

Nery a more terrible sound
That can be heard for miles around
A sound that doesn't sound right
Of things that go "Rackle Crackle Click Clap Clam" in the night!

You know you heard it when
You jump right out of you skin
And deliver you a terrible fright
Of things that go "Sprong Sprang Spiff Spoof Splat" in the night!

So be warned of what you might hear here
Of sounds that may give your ears tears
So when you travel here tonight
Be wary of the sounds of the night

G'day Timothy … yes, but you're wary to look for its source in the dark. Not frightening, but annoying; a cricket outside the bedroom window - thanks Timothy - Lindsay
