I wrote this many years ago, before Steven King's infamous book and movie. My brother, JD Nash, changed it a bit and recorded it as a song on his last CD. Needless to say, I was very proud that he included my work!


Tommy Knockers

1, 2, 3, 4 Tommyknockers at my door.
Knocking softly can't you hear,
Mama says there's no one near.

5, 6, 7, 8 Home alone 'cause Daddy's late.
Knocking, knocking listen close,
They say there's no such thing as ghosts.

9, 10 Let them in,
Mama, please don't let them in.

Bedtime's here the nightlight's on, I'm still scared of the dark.
Mary Poppins took a walk and got mugged in the park.
Footsteps coming down the hall, Mama is that you?
The ugly duckling swam too close and go caught in a noose.

Mama says to go to sleep, there's no one in my room,
Mary had a little lamb and ate it after school.
Tommyknockers at my door, coming after me,
The wolf ate up Red Riding Hood 'cause she would not believe.

Ring around the rosy, your little sister's nosey,
Wish her away to goblin land, a bloody vase of posies.
Daddy's home but he don't care, make a coat from Baby Bear.
Mother Goose for Christmas Day, Mama help me, I'm so scared.

Tommyknockers at my door, now they're coming in,
Jack and Jill went up the hill and guess who pushed them in?
Now I'm gone and no one cares, Mama come and see,
Tom Thumb's dead, they stepped on him, why wouldn't you believe?

1, 2, 3, 4 Tommyknockers at my door.
5,6, 7, 8 Home alone 'cause Daddy's late.
9, 10 Let them in,
Mama why'd you let them in?

8, 7, 6, 5 Tommyknockers they're alive.
4, 3, 2, 1 Out to get another one.
