Scary Things

(Kid Pan Alley w/ John Bindel and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra)
Jim Photoglo & Ms. Tartar’s 2nd grade class, Stratton Elementary, arranged by Don Hart
Another Halloween song. Don Hart's arrangement was brilliant and earned a Grammy nomination
Scary things, they’re not real
Even though that’s how they feel
My imagination makes up
Very hairy, scary things

Scary things, they’re not real
Even though that’s how they feel
My imagination makes up
Very hairy, scary things

I was watching my TV, saw a man walk down the street
A green vampire with bloody hands, and he had a lot of scary friends
So I turned my TV off, then I went to bed
But I had to put the pillow up over my head


Scary things, they’re not real
Even though that’s how they feel
My imagination makes up
Very hairy, scary things


When I try to go to sleep, that’s when all the shadows creep
Demons, ghosts and dinosaurs crawl across my bedroom floor
They try to get real close to me; it gives me such a fright
But I can make them go away when I turn on my light


Scary things, they’re not real
Even though that’s how they feel
My imagination makes up
Very hairy, scary

Scary things, they’re not real
Even though that’s how they feel
My imagination makes up
Very hairy, very scary
very hairy, scary things
