Lights out.

Like After Dark I am not quite
As lovely as I seem,
My words have all been taken from
The devil's darkest dream.

You think that you can own me,
And never scream and shout?
Then take a torch and try to read
Me when the lights are out.

Bedbugs

Bedbugs, bedbugs
Biting in the night,
Bedbugs, bedbugs
Keeping out of sight.
They bit my mother on the leg
They bit my father’s knee
They bit my little sister
Now they’re coming after me!

Bedbugs, bedbugs
Biting in the night,
Bedbugs, bedbugs
Keeping out of sight.
They hide beneath the mattresses
They hide beneath the stairs
They hide inside the cupboard
And they hide beside the chairs

Bedbugs, bedbugs
What are we going to do?
Bedbugs, bedbugs
They’re biting me and you.
My sister got a dustpan
And my dad he got a broom,
They swept up all the bedbugs
And they chased them from the room.

Bedbugs, bedbugs
All over the place,
Bedbugs, bedbugs
All on my hands and face.
My mother’s getting stressy
Shouting “Where should be begin?”
So I sucked them up the hoover
And I threw them in the bin.

Ladybird.

I am a lovely ladybird
I’m pretty as can be,
I fly up in the summer breeze
And land upon a tree.
I have small tiny dots
Upon my bright, red wing,
I fly up and I float around
Where the summer birds they sing.

I am a little ladybird
I’ll make your wish come true,
If you will help me fly away
Up in the skies of blue.
So put me on your finger
And hold me in the air,
Then tell me where you want to go
And I will take you there.
