If it's in a word, or if it's in a book

you can't get rid of the Babadook.

He wears a hat

he's tall and black

but that's how they describe him in his book.

A rumbling sound, than three sharp knocks

you better run, or he'll hold you in his locks.

ba-ba-ba-dook-dook-dook...

Your closet opens

and your honestly hopin'

that he won't hear a sound

but that's when you know that he's around.

The book close

you have an itch under your nose

and that's just how the story goes.

So close your eyes and count to ten

better hope you don't wake up again.

'Cause if it's in a word, or if it's in a book

you can't get rid of the Babadook

.... you'll see him if you look
