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
