Daddy's nightmare

Daddy woke up screaming, almost every night
he'd wake up from the nightmare and tell Mom about his fright
But momma wouldn't listen -- not now and never then
so Daddy went to sleep and woke up screaming yet again
		night mare, fright mare
		you made daddy scream
		night mare, white mare
		tell me what you mean
He always ended running, hiding in the dark
He always finished, trapped, 'neath the bleachers in the park
He knew he'd never make it back on foot from across town
and the roads were crossed with oozing black
     that would suck a car right down
		night mare, fright mare
		you made daddy scream
		night mare, white mare
		tell me what you mean
