Lyrics
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
