Talk about your syncopated Cubanola drag,
I've just got acquainted
with a lazy lovin' rag
has them all beat forty ways
right from the Jack,
Licks 'em to a frazzle
so they can't come back,
talk about your grizzly bears
that squeeze you most to death,
I can tell you 'bout a dance
that takes away your breath,
where the ivys clingin' round
the old church tow'r,
when the clocks are chiming out
the midnight hour,
that's the time your face turns white,
kinky hair gets straight with fright,
that is when your fear begins,
when you see the Gobelins.

Doing the goblin's glide,
doing the ghosties's slide,
never a touching the ground at all,
slipping right bang thro' the church yard wall,
get in the dance before they catch you,
make 'em believe you'se a gobelin too,
don't look behind you, Hon!
They'll never find you, Hon,
doing the Gobelin's Glide.

Doing the goblin's glide,
doing the ghosties's slide,
never a touching the ground at all,
slipping right bang thro' the church yard wall,
get in the dance before they catch you,
make 'em believe you'se a gobelin too,
don't look behind you, Hon!
They'll never find you, Hon,
doing the Gobelin's Glide.

You all don't believe in Goblins
in the broad daylight
wait until you meet 'em
in the middle of the night
you'll wish you'd been kind
to little brother Jack,
You'll make up your mind
to put them chickens back,
when the Goblins chase us
with that fire and brimstone smell,
May be they's from Heaven
or for you can never tell,
may be they just suffrin'
for some awful crime,
They want you to join 'em
there before your time,
that is when you get a scare,
seein' ghosties in the air,
you beat ragtime with your heart,
when you see the Bogeys start.

Doing the goblin's glide,
doing the ghosties's slide,
never a touching the ground at all,
slipping right bang thro' the church yard wall,
get in the dance before they catch you,
make 'em believe you'se a gobelin too,
don't look behind you, Hon!
They'll never find you, Hon,
doing the Gobelin's Glide.

Doing the goblin's glide,
doing the ghosties's slide,
never a touching the ground at all,
slipping right bang thro' the church yard wall,
get in the dance before they catch you,
make 'em believe you'se a gobelin too,
don't look behind you, Hon!
They'll never find you, Hon,
doing the Gobelin's Glide.
