Goosebumps

My goosebumps have goosebumps
They are plain to see
I can't believe 
How this came to be

Exploring this old haunted house
I'm feeling quiet uneasy
My hackles are raised
Any my stomach is queasy

Not alone in this house
I got the willies
But that's not all
My spine has the chillies

Goosebumps on my goosebumps
Buckling with fear
I see a frightening sight
Coming out of that mirror

Lost my voice 
Can't seem to scream
That specter looks familiar
It's someone I've seen

I slowly back up
To flee this place
I look again and realize
Its my chicken face

My goosebumps lost their goosebumps
But I still have some
And they are telling me
Run fraidy-cat run
