My Spooky Ookum! 1919

James Pitt-Payne in London UK - 30 Dec 2003

At night when I have been dining,
and not too wisely been "wineing,"
I have no thought of declining,
any part of a quart of champagne.
'Tis then I see a young creature,
so queer of form and of feature,
I call her "My Spooky Ookum,"
I see her again and again
Oooh! Oooh!

Oooh! Spooky Ookum Oooh!
What a sight! Oooh!
When I see you in my dreaming at night.
How I awaken in a fright!
Oooh! Still you are there! Oooh!
Everywhere!
Spooky Ookum, please tonight,
if you come,
Don't come 'round here for me!

Oooh! Spooky Ookum Oooh!
What a sight! Oooh!
When I see you in my dreaming at night.
How I awaken in a fright!
Oooh! Still you are there! Oooh!
Everywhere!
Spooky Ookum, please tonight,
if you come,
Don't come 'round here for me!
