"Haunted House" Lyrics

I just moved in my new house today
Movin' was rough, but I got squared away
Well, chains started ringin' and bells ringin' loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house

Still, I made up in my mind to stay
And nothin' was gonna drive me away
When I saw somethin' that give me the creeps
Had one big eye and two big feet

I stopped right still, and I did the freeze
It did the stroll right up to me
Made noise with his feet that sound like a drum
(Says, "You gonna be here when mornin' come?")

I said, "Yes, I'll be here when the mornin' come"
I'm gonna stay right here, I ain't gonna run
I own this house, now I am boss
Ain't no bum's gonna run me off

In the kitchen my cook stove was blazin' hot
Coffee was boilin' in the pot
My grease had melted in my pan
I had a hunk of meat in my hand

From out of space there sat a man
On the hot stove with the pot in his hand
"Hey, that's hot!" I began to shout
He drank the hot coffee right from the spout

He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Drank the hot grease from the fryin' pan
And said to me, "You better run
And don't be here when mornin' come"

Say yes, I'll be here when the mornin' come
I'm gonna stay right here, and I ain't gonna run
I own this house, now I am boss
Ain't no one's gonna run me off
