The Little Man Who Wasn't There

Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?
 Are you whistling in the dark just to scare the ghost away?
 I know there's something following me that I can't see
 Someone sure laid an awful hex on me
 A hex? Ah, Tex, that's pretty far-fetched
 Man, I'd think you're just a little bit tetched
 If you'd got a load of what I saw last night
 You'd pass the Yankee Clipper on its maiden flight
 Last night I saw upon the stair
 A little man who wasn't there
 He wasn't there again today
 Oh, how I wish he'd go away
 When I came home last night at three
 The man was waitin' there for me
 But when I looked around the hall
 I couldn't see him there at all
 Go away, go away
 Don't you come back anymore
 Go away, go away
 And please, don't slam the door
 Last night I saw upon the stair
 A little man who wasn't there
 He wasn't there again today
 Oh, how I wish he'd go away
