Haunted House

by:
Jumpin' Gene Simmons

Just moved in my new house today.
Movin' was hot 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 give me the creep.
Had one big eye anna two big feet.

I stood right still and I did the freeze.
He did the stroll right up to me.
Made a noise with his feet that sound like a drum.
Say," You'll be here when the mornin' come?"

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 my 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 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 a 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!"
Ain't no haint gonna run me off."
