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]
