When Mom and Dad are fast asleep
They sing 'Heigh-ho, heigh-ho'
Into the toddler's room they creep
And sing 'Heigh-ho, heigh-ho'
And there with burlap sack in hand
They're lurking 'neath the cold nightstand
To snatch you off to Faery-land
Singing 'Heigh-ho, heigh-ho'
Beneath the moon you'll watch them mass
'Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho'
Then pray to God
He'll let them pass
'Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho'
There's nothing more that you can do
Than lie in fear the long night thru
Till that dark night they come for you
'Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho'
