It was dark, dark, dark In a big, big park I felt like a king upon de throne Me and Imelda liming alone When I heard a talk And a creeping walk As I look around frightfully I was in the center of the cemetery Yuh talk about... (Run!) I nearly bus' meh head (Run!) De livin' running from de dead (Run!) A ghos' say, "Doh' run meh lad (Run!) Come leh we play a game of cards" (Run!) Well is now ah runnin' in truth (Run!) Meh foot stick in a mango root (Run!) Ah fall down inside a tomb (Run!) Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom What had me sad And really mad I was just about to start A little romance wit' meh sweetheart I kissed her twice Just feeling nice When a voice said "Mister yuh brave To be bringin' yuh girlfriend on top meh grave" Yuh talk about... (Run!) I nearly bus' meh head (Run!) De livin' running from de dead (Run!) A ghos' say, "Doh' run meh lad (Run!) Come leh we play a game of cards" (Run!) Well is now ah runnin' in truth (Run!) Meh foot stick in a mango root (Run!) Ah fall down inside a tomb (Run!) Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom As ah reach de street A tall gentleman I meet I was feeling so happy To tell him of meh fright in de cemetery He said "I can understand You're a wild young man But still you're not to be blamed When I was alive I was just the same" Yuh talk about... (Run!) I nearly bus' meh head (Run!) De livin' running from de dead (Run!) A ghos' say, "Doh' run meh lad (Run!) Come leh we play a game of cards" (Run!) Well is now ah runnin' in truth (Run!) Meh foot stick in a mango root (Run!) Ah fall down inside a tomb (Run!) Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom De scream I make Ah sure de whole world shake Ah now in big trouble Dis time ah sure ah see de Devil Ah see a big white horse On top a big black cross As ah bawl out "Oh Gorm, ah dead!" A voice say "Kitch, come go to bed!" Yuh talk about... (Run!) I nearly bus' meh head (Run!) De livin' running from de dead (Run!) A ghos' say, "Doh' run meh lad (Run!) Come leh we play a game of cards" (Run!) Well is now ah runnin' in truth (Run!) Meh foot stick in a mango root (Run!) Ah fall down inside a tomb (Run!) Ah get up with a zoom-zoom-zoom
