Lock yourself behind an iron gate To keep the intruders off your way Sleep with a rifle in your bed But still your screams keep you awake 'The madman's hiding in the night' Searching for you 'The thieves are approaching your house' Always out of sight 'The murderer's on the loose tonight' Waiting for you 'Defend your piece of paradise' Playtime's over I can't tell the sun from the moon All work and no play at all Made Jack a dull little boy Don't let the strangers know your name Their smiling teeth have disappeared Don't take the shortcut by the lake Their eyes are following your way 'The madman's hiding in the night' Searching for you 'The thieves are approaching your house' Always out of sight 'The murderer's on the loose tonight' Waiting for you 'Defend your piece of paradise' Playtime's over I can't tell the sun from the moon All work and no play at all Made Jack a dull little boy Here come a candle to light you to bed Here come an angel to take you away
