John Fogerty - Haunted House lyrics

rate me

I just moved in my new house today<br />

Moving was hot but I got squared away<br />

When bells started ringing and chains rattled loud<br />

I knew I'd moved in a haunted house<br />

<br />

Still I made up my mind to stay<br />

Nothing was a gonna drive me away<br />

When I seen something that gave me the creep<br />

Had a one big eye and two big feet<br />

<br />

I stood right still and I did the freeze<br />

The thing came strolling up to me<br />

Made a noise with the feet sound like a drum<br />

Saying don't be here when the morning comes<br />

<br />

Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes<br />

I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run<br />

I bought this house and you know I'm boss<br />

Ain't no hate gonna run me off<br />

<br />

In the kitchen my stove was a blazing hot<br />

The coffee was a boiling in the pot<br />

The grease had melted in my pan<br />

I had a hunk of meat right in my hand<br />

<br />

From out of space there sat a man<br />

On the hot stove with the pots and pans<br />

Say that's hot, I began to shout<br />

He drank a hot coffee right from the spout<br />

<br />

He ate the raw meat right from my hand<br />

Drank the hot grease from the frying pan<br />

He said to me, well you better run<br />

And don't be here when the morning comes<br />

<br />

Say yes, I'll be here when the morning comes<br />

I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run<br />

I bought this house and you know I'm boss<br />

Ain't no hate gonna run me off<br /><br />
