Spiders know these things
Gremlins know these things
Tap, tap, tap, tap
You think it’s the pipes
But who turns on the lights?
Our city hobgoblins
Ubu le roi is a home hobgoblin
And at nights all ready
Our city hobgoblins
Infest my home at night
They are not alright
Ten times my age
One-tenth my height
Our city hobgoblins
Buzz of the all-night mill
Ah but evil
Emigres from old green glades
Pretentious eh?
Our city hobgoblins
They’ll get yer
So queen victoria
Is a large black slug in piccadilly, manchester
Our city hobgoblins
And they say
We cannot walk the floor at night in peace
At night in peace
