Spooks - Louis Armstrong/Gordon Jenkins and His Orchestra Lyrics by:Matt Dubey/Harold Karr Composed by:Matt Dubey/Harold Karr Produced by:Milt Gabler In come night about 12 clock I thought I'd go downstairs just to check the lock When I heard something in the house I don't mean a mouse I swear they were spooks spooks spooks I know they were spooks spooks spooks spooks I couldn't move just stood and stared I never felt so scared The first spook spoke and I heard him speak He said what say oh made the back door squeak Will you tease the cat and hound The puff and raise our spirits up Oh Lord of them spooks spooks spooks Those scary old spooks Spooks spooks spooks You don't have to take my word But I heard what I heard The next spook spoke He said 'spose we make The fossil start to tick And make the shutters shake You let me know just what you want This is my favorite haunt Beware of them spooks spooks spooks They're amidst of the spooks spooks Spooks spooks I hate spoofin man I mean that I've seen what I've seen A big spook spoke he said Spike my son He said I'll show you How to scare some fun But next time when you wail see here You make it the loud and clear Watch out for them spooks Spooks spook of those nests The old spooks spooks spooks loose Maybe you don't think it so but I know what I know The last spook turned to his spouse and frowned Said I thought I told you to wait in the ground But you look awful cute tonight in fact You look a fright He's talking about spooks spooks spooks Real genuine spooks spooks spooks spooks No used to putting up your dukes You just can't fight a them spooks I'm getting out of here man I don't dig this jive no Wait for us wait for us wait for us Wait for us
