Transcript

You didn't see me climb to the window Nobody had to open that door I just climb right through the wall and I want you one at all To stand beside and let me have the floor Take a look, I'm not such a stranger Here's the face you cookies all ought to know You can tell me I'm not wanted but the joints will still be haunted

Cause I'm the ghost of Smoky Joe Remember when I'm keying the bucket? In my mansion I'd bond Stravars row When they came and took me off in a cillion dollar coffin Stop the ghost who smoke each other, tell me do you remember me?

Yeah we remember me, that thrill I never found. You'll never recognize your meaning, you mean to say that many? Quit kicking the gum around, I've got a date on my estate down in Haiti All my chariots so I can shoot the boots you walk in Just tell her you've been talking to the ghost of smokey too

Yes I remember many, she's that thrill I never found You say that many, quit kicking the gong around Just tell her you've been talking to the ghost of smoke
