When I was just a little bitty baby
Just about so high
My mammy use to tell me a story
bout a old man wee up in the sky.
Chorus: He's got great big shiny eyes
He's got a great big mouth this size
He walks like this and like that
He eats up little children both lean and fat
He only goes out at night
He is dressed in nothing but white.
He only goes out at night
He is dressed in nothing but white.
So run, run, run just as fast as you can
And hide yourself away from the Chink-A-Boo Man
One night while I was walking cross the meadow
Just about a mile from home
I heard a rustling in the bushes
Then I heard a low, low moan
Well, I took off towards my Mammy's house a flyin'
And when I did reached that door
Mammy! I did roar
MAMMY, I saw that Chink-A-Boo!
Repeat Chorus
