The Haunted House

There once was a house down the lane With tattered shutters and broken window panes They said it was haunted But I was undaunted I went in normal and came out insane And old man came to answer the door He said, "If you want to come in, are you sure?" The man was a ghost He said, "I'm your host" "Welcome my friend to House Nevermore" The house was old and a bit ruff And I thought that I'd had enough But the dead were doing a dance And I thought that perchance I'd get out there and show them my stuff I started off dancing a two step And wound up dancing with the mummy Amenhotep He went on with a cough And his arms and legs kept falling off So I danced a dance that was more hep I saw a beautiful woman across the floor And I wanted to get to know her more We danced all the night It was love at first bite We drank blood and danced till half past four She said she had to have a lye in And went downstairs to sleep in her coffin The guests started to shout As I made my way out I came back for Vampira and often
