Rockin

Rockin' In The Cemetery

Ronnie Dawson

(Dawson - Cole, NO HIT RECORDS, 1989)

One, two... boo, boo, boo, boo!

They were rockin' in the graveyard on Halloween
Rockin' in the graveyard, a real strange scene
Spooks and goblins, it was quite a sight
The things I saw made my hair turn white

Oh, black cat you better not cross my path
Don't wanna know snakes, don't wanna see a bat
I just hope I don't die of fright
I looked at my watch, it was about midnight

Oh-ooh, rockin' in the graveyard
Oh-ooh, rockin' in the cemetery

Well, I didn't know if I should run and hide
I really didn't know if I'd get out alive
The things I saw I never seen before
Some of these things, I don't wanna see no more

Oh, if you're out walking in the dead of night
Yeah, if you hear music from a graveyard site
You better not linger, for you better go home
'Cause there's a rockin' graveyard, hear them rockin' them bones

Oh-ooh, rockin' in the graveyard, ah-aah
Oh-ooh, rockin' in the graveyard, ah-ah-ah-aah

Oh-ooh, rockin' in the graveyard
Oh-ooh, rockin' in the cemetery

Oh, I didn't know if I should run and hide
I really didn't know if I'd get out alive
The things I saw I never seen before
Some of these things, I don't wanna see no more

Well, if you're out walking in the dead of night
If you hear music from a graveyard site
You better not linger, you better not pass
'Cause they're rockin' in the graveyard
Hear them rockin' them bones...

Ah-ah-ah-ah-aahh
