Mister Babadook Songtext
von Argyle Goolsby

Creak creak go the boards at the base of the stairs
Up up jump the roots of my trembling hair
Boom boom resounds a sound in the darkness somewhere
Oh could it be my guest is here?

Tick tock blares the clock I can no longer ignore
Snip snap pops the latch of my powerless door
Sick sick is the sensation salting my pores
I′ve never hosted quite a guest before

Hey Mr. Babadook (Dook dook dook)
How do you do?
He said I'm doing fine but don′t be burnin' our time

You know we've got some work to do
Oh what a sight to see this dapper Shadow appear
Perambulating undulating increasing near
And following the ripened heightened scent of my fear
A friend or foe? I′m not exactly clear


Oh not a word was heard
But when I shuddered a gasp
He snapped back jet black tipping his hat
The silence was excruciating I will admit
I had to curb my quiet fit

Hey Mr. Babadook (Dook dook dook)
How do you do?

He said I′m doing fine but don't be burnin′ our time
You know we've got some work to do

Yeah!

Good sir I sympathize that you′re a bit paralyzed
To see me standing here I understand your surprise
But time is not an ally on my side
I advise you let me out before my patience tries
He drew a little closer and I noticed his face
Resembled that of someone that I knew
Right away I found myself standing eye to eye with the wraith
Of my very own reflected rage


Just a mirror and an empty gaze
Just a man simply entertaining hate
Feels like I've known you all my life (All my life)
Seems a little bit silly that I was scared before
How long were you waiting for me outside? (Me outside)
I do apologize I′ve been a little down
Let's go and hit the town and take a walk around
I know a few people we can visit on tonight
Visit on tonight
Visit on tonight
Visit on tonight
Visit on tonight
Visit on tonight
Visit on tonight
Visit on tonight
Visit on tonight

BA-BA
DOOK! DOOK! DOOK!
