Boys and girls, I wonder, have you heard this one before?
It's guaranteed to leave you in a state of dreading more
On this night, I'll tell you all about this crooked tale
So grab a crucifix and let the story begin

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a little crooked house

This is not fantasy, this is where all bad dreams are born
He's not real, he's just a scary thought inside your head
Go grab a crucifix, it seems I have awoken him
Keep that wooden cross very close tonight

He met a crooked woman, and he found a crooked bridge
They had a crooked marriage and a crooked little bitch
They had some crooked children, and they lived a crooked life
The crooked man, the cat, the mouse, the children, and the wife

He is murderous, insane, he's got his eyes on you, baby
Turn it up, let's scream, turn it up, turn it up, he wants us to sing
Murderous, insane, insane, he wants to drag you back to hell

They were happy for a number of crooked long years
Living the life of crooked happiness, no worries and no fears
Until one day the crooked wife upset the crooked man
He yelled a crooked yell, and then he hit her and he ran

Beware the crooked man
So kids, beware the crooked man
He walked a crooked mile upon a crooked stile
When I killed my wife and kids, I smiled a crooked smile

The crooked man came again at the stroke of twelve
That was when their crooked life became a living hell
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile
And when he killed his wife and kids, he smiled a crooked smile
Sleep well tonight, kids
