Referee

(Verse 1)
Early in the morning, in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
One was blind, the other couldn't see
The blind boy said, "I'll referee!"
Back to back, they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot one another
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came and killed those two dead boys.

(Chorus)
Oh, it's a topsy-turvy, upside-down day
Where the skeletons dance and the ghosts all play
If you think it makes sense, you've missed the whole point
It's the looniest tune in the graveyard joint!

(Verse 2)
Now the referee, he started to cry
'Cause there was no one left to declare a tie
He tried to arrest the policeman so blue
But the cuffs just passed straight on through
The cop just tipped his hat with a grin
Said, "Round here, the laws don't apply from within!"
He wrote his report on a tombstone slate
Then said, "Well, that's one way to regulate!"

(Chorus)
Oh, it's a topsy-turvy, upside-down day
Where the skeletons dance and the ghosts all play
If you think it makes sense, you've missed the whole point
It's the looniest tune in the graveyard joint!

(Bridge)
The moon just winked, the church bells fell
And the ancestors came out for a spell
They tapped their bony feet to the beat
Of a fight that was dead on its feet!


(Outro)
Yeah, a fight that was dead on its feet!

Early in the morning... in the middle of the night!

Two dead boys got up to fight.
