[Original Broadway Cast of Matilda - The Chokey Chant lyrics]
Oh, Matilda! They're saying she's going
To put me in Chokey!
What what's Chokey?
They say it's a cupboard in her
Office that she throws children
Into they say she's lined it
With nails, and spikes
And bit's of broken glass
There's a place you are sent
If you haven't been good
And it's made of spikes and wood
And it isn't wide enough to sit
And even if you could
There are nails on the bottom
So you wish you'd –
Stood!
When the hinges creak and the door is closed
You cannot see squat –
Not the end of your nose
And when you scream
You don't know if the sound came out
Or if the scream in your
Head even reached your mouth! Auuurrrgh!
To put me in Chokey!
What what's Chokey?
They say it's a cupboard in her
Office that she throws children
Into they say she's lined it
With nails, and spikes
And bit's of broken glass
There's a place you are sent
If you haven't been good
And it's made of spikes and wood
And it isn't wide enough to sit
And even if you could
There are nails on the bottom
So you wish you'd –
Stood!
When the hinges creak and the door is closed
You cannot see squat –
Not the end of your nose
And when you scream
You don't know if the sound came out
Or if the scream in your
Head even reached your mouth! Auuurrrgh!
