Sneaking Up On Boo Radley

Crawl up the back steps

Up to the back door

Reach up in the dark

Turn the handle a little more

Open up real slow

So the door don't creak

Look ahead and look behind

Don't shuffle your feet

They say he's crazy, they say he's gone

We play our tricks, make up funny songs

Sneaking around, feeling badly

Sneaking up on

Boo Radley

Hear the caterpillar crawl

Hear the bed bugs bite

Hear the crickets scream

All the sounds of the night

Hear the sound of footprints

On the ground

I think I see

Don't step on the lightning bugs

Watch the crack in your knees

They say he's crazy, they say he's gone

We play our tricks, make up funny songs

Sneaking around, feeling badly

Sneaking up on

Boo Radley

They say he's funny, got a loose screw

Stay away, he's a threat to you

Give him a break, what do we know

Might turn out we would like him so

We fear what we just don't know

I heard he served a long time ago

Saw some things we'll never know

We laugh and sneak around in the night

Fun and games but

I know it's not right

Scared and fascinated

Ignorant we castigate him

Scared and fascinated

Ignorant we flagellate him

They say he's crazy, they say he's gone

We play our tricks, make up funny songs

Down the street, walking sadly

My little sister, loves him madly

Feeling like the

Man From Gladly

Sneaking up on

Boo Radley
