beats out time
Activated by a spring
Wound up by hands
that really love you
---
Strings and pulleys
move the scenes
And smoke and mirrors
hide the actors
Underneath the trap door
there's a magic made-up monster
Waiting for his cue
to make his entrance
At that moment of great tension
He comes when you least expect it
---
He's the one who loves you most
He comes just when you least expect it
That's the way the story goes
---
He'll grab you by your little toe
He'll make you jump out of your skin
He'll take you shake you then begin
with kitchen knife and rolling pin
to cut you up and make you thin
Then put you in a baking tin
and cook you
Till you're crisp and crunchy
Like a biscuit for his lunch
he'll munch you down
With a pinch and a punch
You'll wish you never had the hunch
that he'd be waiting for you
---
He'll stop the clock
with a wave of his hand
He'll do it just because he can
For what reason
no one knows
That's just the way the story goes
---
He'll grab you by your little toe
He'll make you jump out of your skin
He'll take you shake you then begin
with kitchen knife and rolling pin
to cut you up and make you thin
Then put you in a baking tin
and cook you
Till you're crisp and crunchy
Like a biscuit for his lunch
he'll munch you down
With a pinch and a punch
You'll wish you never had the hunch
that he'd be waiting for you
