paroles de chanson Spooks - Louis Armstrong , Gordon Jenkins

The other night, about 12 o'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 stare
I never was so scared

The first spook spoke and I heard him speak
He said, "What say we go make the back door squeak?
We'll tease the cat and hound the pup and raise our

Spirits up." Oh, Lord, are them spooks, spooks, spooks
Those scary old spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
Ah, you don't have to take my word, but I heard what I heard

The next spook spoke and he said, "Suppose we make
The faucet start to drip 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 mischievous spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
I ain't spoofing and I mean that I've seen what I've seen

A big spook spoke and he said, "Spike, my son,"
He said, "I'll show you how to scare up some fun
But next time when you wail or see hair, you make it loud

And clear." Watch out for them spooks, spooks, spooks
Oh, those nasty old spooks, spooks, spooks, spooks
Maybe you don't think it's 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 use in putting up your dukes
You just can't fight them spooks

I'm cutting out of here, man
I don't dig this jive, no
Wait for us, wait for us, wait for us, wait for us
