WORDS TO THE MUSIC
Rats in the rafters counting the dark Bats on the wires like notes on a chart Big black cats crossing where the streetlight dies Shadows lean closer with nobody's eyes Something skitters under the floor Creepy crawlies keeping score Bumps in the night, bumps in the night Don't turn the lamp, you'll lose the fight Bumps in the night, hear 'em crawl Spooky season owns the hall Rats and bats and a cat so black It drinks the moon and don't give it back Cobwebs whispering down the stair A tick in the wall that wasn't there Leaves scratch the window like little claws Porch light flickers, then it pauses Something knocks once, then knocks again October breathing through the vents Bumps in the night, bumps in the night Don't turn the lamp, you'll lose the fight Bumps in the night, hear 'em crawl Spooky season owns the hall Rats and bats and a cat so black It drinks the moon and don't give it back I ain't scared, I just ain't dumb I know when the house starts to hum If the shadows move when I stand still I'll let 'em have the dark, I'll keep my will Bumps in the night, bumps in the night Don't turn the lamp, you'll lose the fight Bumps in the night, hear 'em crawl Spooky season owns the hall Rats and bats and a cat so black It drinks the moon and don't give it back Yeah, don't give it back
