The Chokey Chant

[00:00.25] Oh, Matilda! They're saying she's going to put me in Chokey!
[00:09.11] What's Chokey?
[00:11.27] They say it's a cupboard in her office that she throws children into
[00:15.61] They say she's lined it with nails, and spikes, and bits of broken glass
[00:23.16] There's a place you are sent if you haven't been good
[00:26.98] And it's made of spikes and wood
[00:29.79] And it isn't wide enough to sit
[00:32.68] And even if you could
[00:34.40] There are nails on the bottom
[00:36.33] So you wish you'd stood
[00:38.01] When the hinges creak and the door is closed
[00:42.01] You cannot see squat
[00:43.88] Not the end of your nose
[00:45.40] And when you scream, you don't know if the sound came out
[00:49.25] Or if the scream in your head even reached your mouth
[00:53.75]
