The Little Man Who Wasn't There

Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?

Are you whistling in the dark just to scare the ghost away?

I know there's something following me that I can't see

Someone sure laid an awful hex on me

A hex? Ah, Tex, that's pretty far-fetched

Man, I'd think you're just a little bit tetched

If you'd got a load of what I saw last night

You'd pass the Yankee Clipper on its maiden flight

Last night I saw upon the stair

A little man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

Oh, how I wish he'd go away

When I came home last night at three

The man was waitin' there for me

But when I looked around the hall

I couldn't see him there at all

Go away, go away

Don't you come back anymore

Go away, go away

And please, don't slam the door

Last night I saw upon the stair

A little man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

Oh, how I wish he'd go away
