Life Doesn't Frighten Me, by Maya Angelou

"Shadows on the wall Noises down the hall Life doesn't frighten me at all

Bad dogs barking loud Big ghosts in a cloud Life doesn't frighten me at all

Mean old Mother Goose Lions on the loose They don't frighten me at all

Dragons breathing flame On my counterpane That doesn't frighten me at all.

I go boo Make them shoo I make fun Way they run I won't cry So they fly I just smile They go wild

Life doesn't frighten me at all.

Tough guys fight All alone at night Life doesn't frighten me at all.

Panthers in the park Strangers in the dark No, they don't frighten me at all.

That new classroom where Boys all pull my hair (Kissy little girls With their hair in curls) They don't frighten me at all.

Don't show me frogs and snakes And listen for my scream, If I'm afraid at all It's only in my dreams.

I've got a magic charm That I keep up my sleeve I can walk the ocean floor And never have to breathe.

Life doesn't frighten me at all Not at all Not at all.

Life doesn't frighten me at all."
