LISTEN BEFORE SINGING – STARTS RIGHT OUT<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Haunted House: Gene Simmons
\nCharted as a novelty song in 1958.<\/span><\/p>\n

{ Verse 1 } [C] – – – <\/span>I just moved in my new house [C] today. Moving was hard but I got squared [F] away. When bells started ringin’ and chains rattled [G] loud, I knew I’d moved in a haunted [C] house.<\/span><\/p>\n

{ Verse 2 } [C] – – – <\/span>Still I made up my mind to [C] stay. Nothing was a-gonna drive me [F] away. When I saw something that give me the [G] creeps, Had one big eye and two big [C] feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

{ Verse 3 } [C] – – – <\/span>I stood right there and I did the [C] Freeze. It did The Stroll right up to [F] me. Made a noise with its feet that sounded like a [G] drum. Asked me, “You gonna be here when the morning [C] comes?”<\/span><\/p>\n

{ CHORUS } [C] – – – <\/span>“Say, yes, I’ll be here when the morning [C] comes. I’ll be right here, I ain’t gonna [F] run. I bought this house, now I’m [G] boss, Ain’t no haunt’s gonna run me [C] off.”<\/span><\/p>\n

{ Verse 4 } [C] – – – <\/span>In my kitchen my stove was a blazing [C] hot. Coffee was a-boiling in the [F] pot. Grease had melted in the [G] pan. I had a hunk of meat in my [C] hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

{ Verse 5 } [C] – – – <\/span>From out of space there sat a [C] man, On the hot stove with the pots and [F] pans. “Say that’s hot!” I began to [G] shout. He drank the hot coffee right from the [C] spout.<\/span><\/p>\n

{ Verse 6 } [C] – – – <\/span> He ate the raw meat right from my [C] hand. Drank the hot grease from the frying [F] pan. And said to me “You better [G] run, and don’t be here When the morning [C] comes.”<\/span>
