I just moved in my new house today,
Movin' was hard but I got squared away;
Bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud,

I knew I'd moved in a haunted house.

Still I made up my mind to stay,

Nothin' was gonna drive me away;
When I seen somethin' that gave me the creeps,
Had one big eye and two big feet.


I stood right still and I did the freeze,
He did the stroll right up to me;

Made a noise with his feet that sounded like a drum;
"Say you'll be here when the mornin' comes?"


I say "Yes I'll be here when the mornin' 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 haint gonna run me off."

In the kitchen my stove was blazin' hot,

Coffee was boilin' in the pot;
The 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 was the pots and pans

"Say, that's hot!" I began to shout
He drank a hot coffee right from the spout.


He ate the raw meat right from my hand,
Drank the hot grease from the fryin' pan;
He said to me, "Now you better run,

And don't be here when the mornin' comes"

I say "Yes I'll be here when the mornin' 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 haint gonna run me off."
