Raise Hell - The Haunted House Lyrics

Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs



HAUNTED HOUSE (Robert Geddins)



I just moved in my new house today



Moving was hard but I got squared away

When bells starting rings 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 give me the creeps

Had one big eye and two big feet

I stood right there and I did the freeze

It did the stroll right up to me

Made a noise with its feet that sounded like a drum

Said "You gonna be here when the morning comes?"

"Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes

I'll be right here, I ain't gonna run

I bought this house, now I am boss

Ain't no haint's gonna run me off"



In my kitchen my stove was a blazing hot

Coffee was a-boiling in the pot

Grease had melted in my hand (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

"Say that's hot" I began to shout

He drank the hot coffee right from the spout

He ate the raw meat right from my hand

Drank the hot grease from the frying pan

And said to me "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 now, I ain't gonna run

I bought this house now I am boss

Ain't no haint's gonna run me off.
