Oh no, oh no
It's time to go
It's time for Danny
To go to bed
But Danny is sad
He knows that his Dad
Will soon turn out
The lights
Oh no, oh no
It's so dark in here
Danny can't see
Bust he sure can hear
Click! What is that?
Clank! Who is there?
To peek under the bed
Danny wouldn't dare
Stevie told Danny once
That under kids' beds
Hides a big monster
That has three heads
It lurks around
Making clicks and clanks
And waiting for Danny
To stick out his hands
But wait, what's that sound
It could be a giggle
Or maybe a funny
Sort of whistle?
Oh no, oh no
What could it be?
Slowly Danny poked his
Head down to see
A funny little creature
Wearing roller skates
Was wirling around
Doing figure eights
Hi there, Danny
How have you been?
Nice to meet you
I'm Mr Green
Hi Mr Green
Nice to meet you, too
What is it, exactly
Mr Green, that you do?
I joke, I have fun
I swim and I run
I sing and I whistle
When I'm blue
I even play the fiddle
I can do anything
I can cheer like the mob
But it's got to be noisy
You see that's my job
That's your job? Danny asked
I don't understand
What do you mean, Mr Green
Will you please, please explain?
Some people cook meals
Some drive trains
Others build buildings or write
Well, my job is simply
To make noises at night
Oh, I see, Danny said
I do understand
You are behind all
The clicks and the clanks
Would you terribly mind?
Would you terribly care?
Mr Green, if I joined
You down there?
Not at all, Danny
It would be really grand
It's been a long time since
I made noise with a friend
They skated and ran
They played golf in the rain
Baked cookies and cakes
Swam across the great lakes
They made lots of noise
They had lots of fun
They even launched
A rocket to reach the sun
Oh no, oh no
Dawn is upon them
And it's time for
Mr Green to go to bed
With a hoot and a whistle
Mr Green boarded his train
Don't worry, I'll be back
We'll do this again
Danny waved goodbye
To Mr Green
Who was the funniest thing
Danny has ever seen
Now Danny knows
When he hears at night
A crackle, a pop
A laugh, or a sob
That it's just Mr Green
Doing his job
