But alas, it is haunted at night
There's a rather rude ghost
Keeps stealing my toast

Next door looks so cheerful and bright
But alas, it is haunted at night
There's a rather rude ghost
Keeps stealing my toast
And then vanishes out of sight

Planning to go on a ghost hunt

More like a publicity stunt

More like a publicity stunt
Round an old vicarage

Planning to go on a ghost hunt
More like a publicity stunt
Round an old vicarage
Hearing phone clickerage

Planning to go on a ghost hunt
More like a publicity stunt
Round an old vicarage
Hearing phone clickerage
And of course the odd ghostly grunt

All shiny and new

All shiny and new

I wish I could buy a new car
But finances won't stretch that far
All shiny and new
Just a small one, dark blue

I have to say, she is that ‘tight’
She said no to the car just last night
So I might get a bike
Or even a trike

I have to say, she is that ‘tight’
She said no to the car just last night
So I might get a bike
Or even a trike
I'll find one that fits me just right
