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 in my mind to stay Nothin' was a gonna drive me away When I seen somethin' that gave me the creep Had a one big eye and two big feet I stood right still and I did the freeze And he did the stroll right up to me Made a sound with his feet like a drum Sayin', "You'll be here when the mornin' comes?" 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 a blazin' hot The coffee was a 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 a hot stove was 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" 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.
