Hey, you look like you're lost
   Maybe you don't realize where you are
   Now I'll tell you to stop
   Just turn around and forget you made
   A start
   But you hesitate
   Get ready get set
   The longer you wait
   The bigger I get
   [Chorus]
   I'm the scarecrow
   You better stay just where you are
   I'm the scarecrow
   You know I'll never let you get too far
   Hey, I see you're still here
   Didn't you get something from our talk
   Now your eyes make it clear
   But nevertheless you know you won't get far
   But you hesitate
   Get ready get set
   The longer you wait
   The bigger I get
   [Repeat Chorus]
   I say, "Push off" but you move too slow
   I tell you to step, but you just won't go
   One of these days you'll wish you were dead
   There's a scarecrow now lying under your bed
   [Repeat Chorus]
