Mama, There's A Ghost

Who has seen Molly the nurse,

Who has heard her last words,

No one's noticed her vanishing.

Yet on that midnight I heard her sing,

"Oh come close child, don't be shy.

I will sing you a sweet lullaby."

We do the one step, we do the two step,

We do the slow drag (ragtime),

We do the bunny hug, we do the judy walk,

We do the turkey trot.

Mama, there's a ghost, Mama there's a ghost,

Mama, there's a ghost on the roof!

Mama, there's a ghost, Mama there's a ghost,

Mama, there's a ghost on the roof!

Young Sally danced the whole night long

And then she walked home all alone.

Her body was found by the riverside,

Yet her soul can't find no rest at night,

"Won't you dance with me, sweet little friend?

Come a bit closer and take my hand.".

We do the one step, we do the two step,

We do the slow drag (ragtime),

We do the bunny hug, we do the judy walk,

We do the turkey trot.

Mama, there's a ghost, Mama there's a ghost,

Mama, there's a ghost on the roof!

Mama, there's a ghost, Mama there's a ghost,

Mama, there's a ghost on the roof!

Why did they hang Sam on a bloody night?

No one's talked to him, he had no right.

I saw his shape behind a tree,

Felt a glance fixed on me,

"I will catch you, you'll feel my knife,

I'll put an end to your young life.".

We do the one step, we do the two step,

We do the slow drag (ragtime),

We do the bunny hug, we do the judy walk,

We do the turkey trot.

Mama, there's a ghost, Mama there's a ghost,

Mama, there's a ghost on the roof!

Mama, there's a ghost, Mama there's a ghost,

Mama, there's a ghost on the roof!
