Me and the Ghost Upstairs - Fred Astaire[00:00:00]
Once upon a midnight dreary[00:00:09]
While I pondered weak and weary[00:00:12]
From a long trip on the Erie[00:00:15]
Comes a rappin' on my chamber door[00:00:17]
It's an ectoplasmic tapping[00:00:23]
That disturbs my nightly napping[00:00:27]
Like a shroud that's gently flapping[00:00:29]
Emanating from the second floor[00:00:32]
Buddies are we me and the ghost upstairs[00:00:41]
Sipping our tea me and the ghost upstairs[00:00:46]
But he's inclined to moan when left alone[00:00:51]
So I think of things that'll tickle his funny bone[00:00:54]
Lonely old ghost upstairs[00:00:59]
Regular folks droppin' our worldly cares[00:01:03]
Swappin' our jokes me and the ghost upstairs[00:01:08]
And then he slaps his shroud and laughs out loud[00:01:14]
And says Oh boy that'll paralyze all the crowd[00:01:16]
Jolly old ghost upstairs[00:01:21]
He's quite a cook he serves a beautiful drink[00:01:25]
He wrote a book and in invisible ink[00:01:28]
I took a look and the title 'pon the page[00:01:30]
Was 'The Groups of Wraith'[00:01:34]
Once in a while he brings a gang of friends[00:01:36]
Does it in style careless of what he spends[00:01:42]
And though the place is small we have a ball[00:01:47]
'Cause you know those spooks don't require no room at all[00:01:50]
We have some mighty fine affairs[00:01:54]
Me and the ghost upstairs[00:01:57]
We have some mighty fine affairs[00:02:19]
Me and the ghost upstairs[00:02:21]
