It was midnight dark
And me alone in a park
Along came a gruesome creature
With fiery eyes and a frightful feature
He stopped in front of me
I looked at him, nothing but a flea
I ran along
He followed singing a song
“You’ll come with me
As should be
You will make my dinner,
Which’ll leave me no thinner”
Along came a sudden blow,
And that’s all I know
