I lie in bed at night and listen.Doors creak and walls moan,Faucets drip and the house is settling.And the moon is listening...
I lie in bed at night and listen.Mice creep and clocks tick,Marking time while we are dreaming.And the moon is listening...
My cats go bumpity-bump all night,Mischief happening left and right.Bumpity-bumpity-bumpity-bumpity-bump!
I lie in bed at night and listen.Snow falls and branches sway,Wind chimes clatter in the breeze.And the moon is listening...And I drift to sleep...

Cracking lumber wakes me from my slumber,And my fear takes hold.Sky and clouds brawl, simple things make my skin crawl,And the night grows suddenly loud and dark and cold.
I hold my breath and dare not make a peep.I try to go back to sleep...I can’t go back to sleep...
Oooooooooh, Oooooooooh — What’s that?
I hear a creaking and a moaning — souls in agony are groaning.
Oooooooooh, Oooooooooh — There it is again! — Who’s there?
It’s getting louder, and louder, and louder!If I close my eyes, maybe it won’t be able to see me!
Something’s creeping under my bed!Is it alive or is it dead?Does it even have a head?I pull my legs under the covers!
What a grim and grisley howl!Is it a wolf or a great white owl?Is it a monster wicked and fowl? — There it is again!I feel my hair rising... rising... higher and higher to the roof!
I’m so scared I rattle the sheets! I’m so scared I start to freeze!
Open the door to my closet, trying to find what could cause it...
A roar and a rip and then I know it’s a Bad Mean Scary Tiger,And it’s coming closer, and closer, and closer...I see its yellow eyes! It’s on my bed!And it’s coming towards me and I hear this noise:PURRRRRRRRRRRR... I turn on the light, not a shadow in sight —So I go back to sleep, but back they all creep...
***************************
It’s getting louder, and louder and louder!Something’s peeking in my window!
Is it a giant or a crook?Witch of the West or Captain Hook?I’m afraid to take a look!Okay, try to stay calm...
What’s that shadow that I see?Is it a spider bigger than me?Should I hide or should I flee? — There it is again!I feel my house shaking...shaking...shaking...No, I’m shaking!
I’m so scared I jump out of my Pjs! I’m so scared I start to grow a beard!
Footsteps in the hall... I’m not afraid, not at all....
A roar and a rip and then I know it’s a... it’s a... it’s a...And it’s coming closer, and closer, and closer...It opens up my door! Its eyes turn red!And it’s coming towards me and I hear this noise...GET BACK IN BED!
I turn on the light, not a shadow in sight —So I go back to sleep, and I don’t hear a peep.
III. Things That Go Bump in the Night by Anna Guisbond & Katie Wood
I pull the covers from my face, and glance around the room.The light of dawn reveals no trace that I had been visited by creatures of doom.
Things that go bump in the night just mightMake somebody get light with fright.They get so scared that they might be caredBy the things that go bump in the night.
But they know it isn’t true,And hopefully so do you.
This piece is not for a shy choir! In order to create a mysterious atmosphere, singers are askedto speak, whisper, shout, moan, click their tongues, and make rolls in their throats. They arealso asked to rub their hands together, snap their fingers, and stomp their feet on the floor!
Neither may the pianist be a shrinking violet! The pianist is asked to play inside the piano,striking the strings with the palm, playing glissandos with the fingernail, or dampening certainstrings while playing them on the keyboard. There are also some chord clusters that are playedusing the whole forearm!
Many measures in this piece do not have time signatures. These measures, which contain specialeffects and spoken words, should be given as much time as they need, depending on the musicalcontent.
It is more important to have fun with these effects than to do them “exactly right.”
Things That Go Bump in the Night was composed with and for students at Syracuse’s EdwardSmith Elementary School, as part of Syracuse Society for New Music’s Composers-in-the-Schools project. The original work, as performed by the entire music program of the school,consisted of three movements for chorus, one interlude for band, and two interludes for stringorchestra. The three choral movements, performed separately, create their own “Journey fromDusk to Dawn.”
The composition of this piece was truly collaborative. Before I came on the scene, the studentschose a subject for the piece, and then produced a wealth of creative writing on that theme. Iedited these varied poems, stories and descriptions, assembling them into three song lyrics withvery different moods. Then, small groups of student composers met, choosing time signaturestempos, and chord qualities; composing melodies, rhythms and harmonies; assigning parts toinstruments; and adding special effects. Finally, I forged their ideas into a large work whichstudent musicians learned and performed for their teachers, parents, and friends.
Funding for this project was provided by New York State Council on the Arts; The CoplandFund; Martin A Yenawine and I’m Smart of CNY, Inc. Also vital to this effort was the energeticgrant-writer Billie Burdick, Syracuse Society for New Music’s Neva Pilgrim, and the talentedand enthusiastic teachers at Edward Smith Elementary School.
