Notes and Quotes |
Text | |
When
the shade of night is fallin' and the moon is shining bright. And the center of the graveyard in the middle of the night. I get out of my great-big long black coffin 'til the following night. |
a |
I've
got two horns upon my head and a twinkle in my eye. I've got two feet of hair, makes the chicks all sigh. When I hit 'em with my great big club they start to hollar and cry. |
b |
Dance
and sing I scream for me, while they pound the floor. When I shake your head, the whole job bled, that's when I scream for more. |
c |
While
the bats are a flyin' and the cats are a sighin', And the Zombies are a dancin' and the skeletons are prancin', I get into my great big coffin 'til the following night. |
d |
'Til the following night, 'til the following night | e |
