Uncle Bill, well he took ill and they sent for me to come 
Well, I had to pass by the old graveyard so I went on the run 
There was screamin’ and moanin, wailin’ and groanin’, scary as the mummy’s curse 
I said good buddy you may get me, but brother let me tell you, that you’re gonna have to catch me first
