Sleeping With The Light On. ukulele original, two second song

I got into a mini discussion tonight in the comments on ShaneFoxXs video for Lonh Black Veil about being afraid of the dark. A comment was made about sleeping with Wubbie (dont ask me, ask ShaneFoxX) and a two second song popped into my head as I popped in to the kitchen for a cup of tea. The idea for the song took about two seconds (thanks and praise to Alan Brandt UKISOCIETY for the inspiration and the concept) and it was composed and written at the same time and speed. It has been performed out loud once only (for the recording of this video) nd will probably never be performed again.

Chords in Verse Dm A7
Chords in Chorus F and C

Im not frightened of the dark as you can plainly see
I just like sleeping with the light on cause it bothers me
That my teddy bear might be afraid and get the creeps
If I was frightened of the dark Id never get to sleep.

CHORUS
Sleeping with the light on is good for boy and bear
I do it cause its fun and really not because Im scared
Sleeping with the light on its just how we are made
My bear and me just like it. Its not cause we are afraid

Im not frightened of the dark - I know that would be foolish
Theres nothing scary, bad or horrid, creepy, weird or ghoulish
Lurking in my wardrobe or underneath my bed
I know cause Daddy checked - he did - at least thats what he said

Theres nothing in a darkened room thats not there when its light
Nothing there to worry over, or give you a fright
If you think a monsters there as you lie in your bed
Remember its not in your room, its only in your head

This is such a good song. I mean, it's neither sad nor depressing. I dunno... but I've been putting up with my subscriptions' sad and depressing songs lately. This is suc a good change and ... I really like it.

@idrnoel

Thanks - I'm afraid I may have one or two of those songs up my sleeve for later.

This song was quite literally conceived in a couple of minutes following a comment on another vdeo by ShaneFoxx - see video response.

:o))) Lovvverly!!! Somehow I am also hearing it in a muffled 1920s band version, through a gramophone, in the back of my head - no idea what's wrong with me, that is not happening the for first time... 8o/

@Sharkwell

Thankyou

I suppose the verse chord sequence is a bit 1920s New Orleans Jazz/Blues.
