Soon to be featured in the spooky stage show, "Mortimus Greely's Haunting School"
lyrics
Don't go in the cemetery
Don't go in the cemetery
Don't go in the cemetery after dark
Old Mr. Frank, died when he drank
a bottle of poison that tasted like honey
Allison Tate succumbed when she ate
and old tuna sandwich that smelled kind of funny
chorus
Martin McGriff fell off a cliff
you can still hear his terrible scream to this day
Anthony Lane was hit by a train
we all know the train tracks are no place to play
Phineas Fitch was handsome and rich
sipping champagne when he dropped from his yacht
Solomon Schwartz was covered with warts
Said to be harmless, apparently not
instrumental
Bartleby Harrison died of embarrassment
from a pimple that grew on the end of his nose
Old Mrs. Hill passed away from a chill
if only she'd slept with the window closed
Frederick Clive died in 1905 from whooping cough
He's still ticked off.
There's a terrible town under the ground
with spirits and zombies and querulous ghosts
during the day, some say it's okay
but at night keep away, keep away, keep away
No, they're not the most gracious of hosts
