Haunted House - Jumpin

Haunted House

Jumpin' Gene Simmons

(R. Geddins, HI 2076, 1964)

I just moved in my new house today
Moving was hard but I got squared away
Bells started ringing and chains rattle loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house
Still I made up a-my mind to stay
Nothing was gonna drive me away
When I seen something that give 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 sound like a drum
Said you be here when the morning come
Say yes I'll be here when the morning come
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house, now you know I'm boss
There ain't no haint gonna run me off

In my kitchen my stove was a blazing hot
The coffee was boiling in the pot
The grease had melted in the pan
I had a hunk of meat in my hand
From out of space there sat a man
On the hot stove with the pots and pans
I said that's hot, I began to shout
He drank a hot coffe right 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 come
Say yes I'll be here when the morning come
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house, now you know I'm boss
There ain't no haint gonna run me off
