Walkin' Through a Cemetery

Claudine Clark

 

Sha, ooh, sha, sha, ooh…

 

Well, I was walkin’ through a cemetery one dark night

A creature jumped out and he gave me a fright

I heard his footsteps; they were coming my way

So I turned myself around and ran the other way

Singin’, “Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee.

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Oh, oh yeah, oh oh oh um bop um bop bop”

 

Well, I was jumpin’ over tombstones; I ran right through a fence

I tripped over a body, nearly lost my sense

Sat down to rest on a pile of old bones

That up and started runnin’ ‘cause-a all I heard was moans

A-singin’, “Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee.

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, doo, yeah

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Oh, oh yeah, oh oh oh um bop um bop bop”

 

Hey, boys…

 

Well, if you’re walkin’ through a cemetery one dark night

Up jumps a creature, and he gives you a fright

Ain’t no use to turn around and walk the other way

‘Cause if he’s for you, baby, he’s gonna get you anyway

Well-a om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee.

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Om, bop, bop.  Om, bop, sha, doo, dee, doo, dee

Oh, oh yeah, oh yeah um bop um bop um bop um bop

 

Well, om, bop-a-bop, yeah man, I was so scared, I was a-movin’ (Fade)
