You’re the Only Thing That’s Haunting Me
I can’t get you off my mind,
can’t leave your memory behind.
I’ve got it bad. I’d treat you good.
Yes I would, if you could.
‘Cause I’ve got skeletons in my closet,
a creature in my lagoon,

I’m gonna bathe them soon.
I’ve got the Wolf Man in the back yard
and Svengoolie on my TV.
But, honey, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.

in 1863

and tells ghost stories
that’ll make you pee.

And Jason and Michael are stalking me.
But, baby, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.
I’ve got vampire bats in my belfrey.
Frankenstein sucks up all my electricity.
There’s UFOs up in the sky
and Jaws down in the sea.

It’s sure a sight to see.
But, sweetie, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.
My exterminator is a dalek.
I’m plagued with Egyptian mummies.
At night, I hear noises that sound
like Evil Dead Part Thirty Three.

and my spinster aunts invited me for tea.
But, sugar, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.

ain’t got nothin’ on me.

and a teenager named Carrie.
But, sweetheart, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.

I’m surrounded by zombies.
I ain’t got no brains to spare,
barely enough for me.

But, angel, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.

He fixes my shower for free.

to a plant named Audrey.

But there’s none that I can see.
And, darling, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.

got lost as I could be.
I found two sixes on my head,
I’m waiting on number three.
On my last fishing trip,
I accidentally caught Nessie.
But, boo, you’re the only thing
that’s haunting me.
