The Haunted House 1914

You see that vacant House
as quiet as a mouse,
it's chock full of myst'ry,
besides it has a hist'ry.
The man who occupied that building,
strangely died;
no one wants to buy it,
because that house is

Haunted, haunted,
Lanky, hanky, panky skeletons
go sneakin' around;
you see that boney, croney,
I mean that boney skeleton
hiding behind that statue,
Look out, he's looking at you!
Listen! Listen!
Tell me, can't you hear him whistling
that mysterious rag, so noted,
he wrote it,
in that rickety, haunted house.

That house is haunted, haunted,
Lanky, hanky, panky skeletons
go sneakin' around;
you see that boney, croney,
I mean that boney skeleton
hiding behind that statue,
Look out, he's looking at you!
Listen! Listen!
Tell me, can't you hear him whistling
that mysterious rag, so noted,
he wrote it,
in that rickety, haunted house.

I often have been told,
that there's a bag of gold,
in the house that's haunted,
I'm poor, but I don't want it.
The doors are open wide,
but no one steps inside,
no one needs the money,
because that house is

Haunted, haunted,
Lanky, hanky, panky skeletons
go sneakin' around;
you see that boney, croney,
I mean that boney skeleton
hiding behind that statue,
Look out, he's looking at you!
Listen! Listen!
Tell me, can't you hear him whistling
that mysterious rag, so noted,
he wrote it,
in that rickety, haunted house.

That house is haunted, haunted,
Lanky, hanky, panky skeletons
go sneakin' around;
you see that boney, croney,
I mean that boney skeleton
hiding behind that statue,
Look out, he's looking at you!
Listen! Listen!
Tell me, can't you hear him whistling
that mysterious rag, so noted,
he wrote it,
in that rickety, haunted house.
