Oh.. You can tell a dirty story In the old conservatory... But don't go in the basement! You can make a scene On the mezanene But don't go in the basement! You can fill yourself with static With the ghosts up in the attic But don't go in the basement! You can light yourself a torch On the old front porch But don't go in the basement! Oh you may think that it's real cool To ride down the bannister like some darn fool Oh don't go... don't go!! Don't go in the basement! You can feel quite aloof Playing rummy on the roof But don't go in the basement! Where the cockroaches dance You can wallow in romance But don't go in the basement! You may think that it's deluxe To ride the bannister filled with rust Oh don't godon't go! Don't go in the basement!!!!
