Scary Stories
[Intro]
Mmmmmhmmmm

[Verse 1]
It was a dark stormy night, and the rain beat on a tin roof
A dark stormy night and the rain beat on a tin roof
We were telling scary stories
And the haint was on the loose

[Verse 2]
It was cold outside, we moved closer to the fire
The wind was howling outside, we moved closer to the fire
And I heard somebody whisper
"Gonna be a real scary night"

[Verse 3]
There was one about the "The Monkey's Paw"
And "Rawhead-and-Bloody-Bones"
Then someone had the nerve to tell
About the old hag in the swamp
Oh, a dark stormy night and the rain beat on a tin roof
We were telling scary stories
And the haint was on the loose

[Verse 4]
And they came scratching at the door
And they tapping on the window pane
Scratching on the door and tapping on the window pane
And I heard somebody whisper "please don't tell that one again"
[Outro]
Ahhh, yeah
