Fifteen for the bogeyman
He's scratching at the window, don't let him in
Fifteen for the bogeyman
Another dead dog in the city of sin

The day is done, the lights are out
There's nothing to do here but scream and shout
We burn the floorboards because we've got no coal
Then we crawl off to sleep in a deep dark hole

Fifteen for the bogeyman
He's scratching at the window, don't let him in
Fifteen for the bogeyman
Another dead dog in the city of sin

Rats swim by, filthy ditches
No need to wonder what the stench is
I'll see you in [bad word] when we die
Life's a [bad word] and then you cry

Fifteen for the bogeyman
He's scratching at the window, don't let him in
Fifteen for the bogeyman
Another dead dog in the city of sin

First the suffering, then the pain
You flushed your life down the nearest drain
Since they cut out half your brain
You've been walking funny and acting strange

There's a conflict between evil and very evil
Going on inside your head
And the sixteenth victim of the bogeyman
Just dropped dead

Sixteen for the bogeyman
He's scratching at the window, don't let him in
Sixteen for the bogeyman
Another dead dog in the city of sin

The gravy train has been and gone
Your once-fine wife looks like King Kong
You're just a [bad word]  as all the others
That you thank God she ran off with your brother

Sixteen for the bogeyman
He's scratching at the window, don't let him in
Sixteen for the bogeyman
Another dead dog in the city of sin

First the suffering, then the pain
You flushed your life down the nearest drain
Since they cut out half your brain
You've been walking funny and acting strange

There's a conflict between evil and very evil
Going on inside your head
And the seventeenth victim of the bogeyman
Just dropped dead
