Haunted House

(专辑： All The People Are Talkin' - 1983)

I just moved in my new house today
Moving was hard but I got squared away
Bells started ringing and chains rattled loud
I knew I'd done moved in a haunted house

Still I made up my mind to stay
And nothing was gonna drive me away
Till I seen something that gave me the creeps
It had a one big eye and two big feet

I stood right still and I did the freeze
And it did stroll right up to me
Made a noise with his feet that sounded like a drum
Said, "Don't you be here when morning comes"

Say if I be here when morning comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
'Cause I bought this house and you know I'm boss
And ain't no haunt gonna run me off

In the kitchen the stove was a blazing hot
The coffee was a boiling in the old pot
Oh the grease had melted in my pan
I had a hunk of meat in my hand

He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Then he drank all the grease from the frying pan
Said to me, "Boy, you better run
And don't you be here when morning comes"

Say if I be here when morning comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
'Cause I bought this house now you know I'm boss
And ain't no haunt like you's gonna run me off
