Lockjaw

Look out children, mothers hide all the children who lie
Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail
He's gonna nail your mouth open wide

Look out children, boys and girls who do falsify
From the Black Forest with a hammerhead
He's looking for you with a rusty eye

In the Black Forest, lives an ogre named Lockjaw
Lockjaw doesn't like children who tell lies
Late at night he stalks the houses of the fibbers and the falsifiers
And before they can cry out from their beds
He nails their jaws open with a rusty nail, using his head for a hammer

You may escape him for a while and think you fooled him
But he'll get you in the end, he'll get ya, he'll get ya

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Mothers hide your heads, all you lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Fathers hide all your lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Look out mothers, telling lies to a gullible child
Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail
He' gonna nail your mouth open wide

Look out fathers, teachers and leaders who do falsify
From the Black Forest with a hammerhead
He's looking for you with a rusty eye

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Hide your heads, if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
You can't hide if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Many people wonder, could such a terrible tail be true?
Who would make up such a terrible tale?
It seems such a cruel punishment for such a tiny little lie
Well, I've got to confess, it's a fib I made it up myself
It's pretty funny, don't you think?

Lockjaw's coming

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Mothers hide all your lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Fathers hide all your lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Hide your head if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
You can't hide if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)

Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
