Things That Go Bump In The Night Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

Some people tell you you're better off dead 

Especially when you're in the very best of health 

Me I don't understand why 

Just like the din of those things 

That go bump in the night 

What does it matter 

Who really cares 

If you die tomorrow 

All you get are prayers 

If there's a God and there might 

Maybe he's in with those things 

That go bump in the night 

Oh, go to a gypsy let her read your palm 

The minute that she says you've got a lot of charm 

You think, how incredible I never thought 

How could anybody have so much power 

But if on the other hand she says I fear 

A bit of bad news in the coming year 

You think what a load of rubbish this is 

I don't know why I ever bothered with 'it 

Who said we're human 

Who called it sex 

Who said that three fives 

Are fifteen is correct 

Some people tell you you're better off dead 

Especially when you're in the very best of health 

What makes a black man go white 

Could be the din of those things that go bump in the night 

Oh, go to a gypsy let her read your palm 

The minute that she says you've got a lot of charm 

You think, how incredible I never thought V 

How could anybody have so much power 

But if on the other hand she says I fear 

A bit of bad news in the coming year 

You think what a load of rubbish this is 

I don't know why I ever bothered with it
