The Zombie - C.W. Stoneking

W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow

Till the break o' dawn in the Congo

Ain’t gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light

Gonna raise some sand in the dead o' night

(To the left, to the right)

M-mama hear them mumblin' low

(Till the dawn breakin' light)

They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)

(In the dead of the night)

Can you hear the little children cry?

(Cryin' «Mama, mama») Watchout!

(Arghh!) Zombie’s a terrible fright

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

This old new sensation

Nuther stone cold hit

Comin' up out the radio

It go so slow, it don’t never quit

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Man, you can’t fight it, don’t even try

Left an' right, they’s goin' in drag-step time

This old repetition make 'em lose their mind

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

So children

Direct your feet right way on 'long

That all infectious beat, c’mon

Everyone you know’s out in the street

We gon' see if you can’t sing along…

W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow

Till the break o' dawn, in the Congo

Ain’t gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light

Gon' raise some sand in the dead o' night

(To the left, to the right)

M-mama hear them mumblin' low

(Till the dawn breakin' light)

They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)

(In the dead of the night)

Can you hear the little children cry?

(Cryin' «Mama, mama») Watchout!

(Arghh!) Zombie’s a terrible fright

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

I grown so 'fraid of the man in the street

With a finger on the pulse, look dead on his feet

Way he say, «All I wanna do is eat, an eat.»

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

I close my eyes

But why can I not rest?

Cause the fear of death that do not die

Unsettle me where I lie

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

That’s why I bring 'em my best ol' slow-footed jump

Here rollin' with the things in the night go bump

I wanna rid my head of all that nasty, nigglin' junk

W-when you hear this zombie rockin' slow

Till the break o' dawn, in the Congo

Ain’t gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light

Gon' raise some sand in the dead o' night

(To the left, to the right)

M-mama hear them mumblin' low

(Till the dawn breakin' light)

They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)

(In the dead of the night)

Can you hear the little children cry?

(Cryin' «Mama, mama») Watchout!

(Arghh!) Zombie’s a terrible fright

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
