The Wind

                           by Michele Valeri © 1981


Spoken:     

Everyone else was asleep.  Maybe I ought to count sheep (noise)

Is that the clock striking twelve? (noise)

That's just my daddy sleeping next door. (noise)

And that's just a creaky old floor.  (Big noise!)  

But what was that?!


Chorus:        

It's the Wind.  It's Only The Wind.          

Whistling through the trees.

It's the Wind.  It's Only The Wind          

But you know what it sounds like to me?


Sounds like a ghost slipping in through the door.

Sliding along on my living room floor.

Sitting downstairs on my sofa,

Sipping soda on my sofa.

Do you think that ghost would hurt me?   Sounds like I'd better go see.  


(Chorus)


Sounds like a snake in the bathtub to me.

Soaping up under my shower for free.

Sitting curled up in my sink.

Yes, I think there's a snake in my sink.

Do you think that snake would hurt me?

Sounds like I'd better go see.          


(Chorus)


Sounds like a spider as big as two chairs.

Look out!  Look out!  'Cause it's coming upstairs.

It's outside my door wearing sneakers.

yes, it's out there in 4 pairs of sneakers.

Do you think that spider would hurt me?

Sounds like I'd better go see.          


(Chorus)
