“Bubnubub jaknajoo munumunumu hubi hybi ooooooooo” went the ghosts in the not-wanted house. The little children were frightened away.
lyrics
there’s a mansion on a hill
no one lives there, no one ever will
though it seems inviting in the day
but if you go round there at night
ready yourself for quite the fright
just ask the children who snuck in to play
all night long in empty rooms
ghosts are grooving to these tunes
and if you listen this is what they say:
“Bunubub jaknajoo munumunumu hubi hybi ooooooooo”
and the little children are frightened away
i’m the shade of old bernard
spent my days in the stable yard
and now I’m here perpetually cutting the rug
but no matter how i blow my horn
though we go from dusk till dawn
the children scream whenever i offer a hug
sorrow sorrow sorrow’s me
i don’t know who i used to be
my soul is stuck inside this music box
there’s just one way i can be free
if you watch the twirling ballerina
and you’ll be stuck inside when it stops
i was once felicia jones
and now i’m just this pile of bones
i was stabbed and strangled with my apron-string
and all i want’s a dancing partner
in my day i was a charmer
but now they scream before we even get in the swing
now you’ve heard our little song
get on up and play along
we have fun giving everybody a fright
so come on kids if you dare
stay till dawn and don’t be scared
soon you’ll be dancing with us every night
life and death could both be worse
i’d take this over any curse
i’m so glad you’ll stay
