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)
