Transcript

Why don't you go in there? Come out of that boy! Don't you know that house is headed? Who'd you say it'd mention? On an old forgotten road Where the better ghosts in goblins Always hang out One night they threw a party In a manner I'll move And they caught you in fighting All the gang out

Have a dark bewitch an hour When the fun was now and hearted Unnotorious wall tower Became the life of the party The smokeswalk had a midnight flame The Mary-Macon was in for swing This rigged themselves into a cheerful train The closet started to dance A kiggle with fiendish gleam, A shout rang out from a big man's sheep,

A mazemoth, was an every ghostly plan. When skeleton in the closet started to dance, All the witches wore in stitches, While his steps made rhythmic thumps, And then nearly dropped that drumstick. When he tried to the buns, you never heard such an oily laughter Such he laughed when you were grown When skeleton in closet wrap his bones
