Haunted House

I just moved in my new house today

Moving was hot but I got squared away

Bells started ringing and chains rattled loud

I knew I'd moved in a haunted house

Still I made up in my mind to stay

Nothing was a gonna drive me away

When I seen something that gave me the creep

Had a one big eye and two big feet

I stood right still and I did the freeze

And he did the stroll right up to me

Made a sound with his feet like a drum

Saying, you'll be here when the morning comes

Say, yes, I'll be here when the morning comes

I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run

I bought this house, now you know I'm boss

Ain't no haunt gonna run me off

In the kitchen, my stove was a blazing hot

The coffee was a boiling in the pot

The grease had melted in my pan

I had a hunk of meet in my hand

From out of space, there sat a man

On a hot stove was pots and pans

Say, that's hot, I began to shout

He drank a hot coffee from the spout

He ate the raw meat right from my hand

Drank the hot grease from the frying pan

He said to me, Now you better run

And don't be here when the morning comes

Say, yes, I'll be here when the morning comes

I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run

I bought this house, now you know I'm boss
