Hide And Seek With Cary Nage

A muted filthy snigger

A creak of closet door

Poor Willy shrinks away

He's frightened to the core

Bad smell suffused the room

When Cary came in sight

There's no remorse in silky voice

"We're gonna play tonight..."

"You'll have to mind the rules

You'll like this game

The hide and seek with Cary Nage

A minute for a run, a lot of place to hide

The whole house is the stage

Willy hides and Cary seeks

All is fair, no dirty tricks

Willy wins and stops to shake

But if you lose..."

The game begins when Cary counts

And Willy leans against the wall

A creepy gnash of iron teeth

It's Cary prowling in the hall

Time is crawling, time is creeping

Lazy points are moving slow

Musty smell is getting near

"Willy, are you here?"

"You'll have to mind the rules

You'll like this game

The hide and seek with Cary Nage

A minute for a run, a lot of place to hide

The whole house is the stage

Willy hides and Cary seeks

All is fair, no dirty tricks

Willy wins and stops to shake

But if you lose

But if you lose...

You'd better awake!"

"Let's play hide and seek, my sweet

You're a hider, I am it

When I get to five o'clock

You should be as quiet as (a) log

One o'clock -- the door unlocked

Two and three -- don't stay by me...

Five o'clock -- I'm lying rogue

So here I come to bite!"

"You'll have to mind the rules

You'll like this game

The hide and seek with Cary Nage

A minute for a run, a lot of place to hide

The whole house is the stage

Willy hides and Cary seeks

All is fair, no dirty tricks

Willy wins and stops to shake

But if you lose

But if you lose...
