I just moved in my new house today Moving was hot but I got squared away When bells started ringing and chains rattled loud I knew I'd moved in a haunted house Still I made up my mind to stay Nothing was a gonna drive me away When I seen something that gave me the creep Had a one big eye and two big feet I stood right still and I did the freeze The thing came strolling up to me Made a noise with the feet sound like a drum Saying don't be here when the morning comes Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run I bought this house and you know I'm boss Ain't no hate gonna run me off In the kitchen my stove was a blazing hot
The coffee was a boiling in the pot The grease had melted in my pan I had a hunk of meat right in my hand From out of space there sat a man On the hot stove with the 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 frying pan He said to me, well you better run And don't be here when the morning comes Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run I bought this house and you know I'm boss Ain't no hate gonna run me off
