lyrics

There's a house down the lane
Full of spiders and snakes
But girl it's not a home
Please don't make that mistake
There's a knock on the door
A creak in the floorboards
There's a thumping of boots
And a basement unexplored

But listen, baby
I wouldn't go down there
All the rumors I've heard
Listen closely, honey
There's a man out in the woods
You can hear the bushes stir

The mansion outside town
They say ghosts haunt its halls
But Casper's on his break
And there's blood on its walls
Say, girl, forget this bet
Let's just go on a walk
Down to Pop's Chocolate Shoppe
Grab a float, have a talk

Have a seat, baby
I wouldn't open that book
It's so nice in the light
Have a shake, honey
Throw that locket in the lake
And we'll survive the night

It's all just urban legends
Just spooky fairy tales
Told around a campfire
It couldn't be true
Couldn't be true, could it?
