The Zombie

Are you ready? (Yeah)

I got a brand new dance here for ya

This one is called the zombie

Well, when you hear that zombie rockin' slow

Till the break of dawn in the Congo

Ain't gon' lay to rest till the mornin' light

Gonna raise some sand in the dead of night

(To the left, to the right)

My mama hear them mumblin' low

(Till the dawn breakin' light)

They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor (Ooh)

(In the dead of the night)

Can you hear the little children cry?

(Cryin', mama, mama)

Watch out

Zombie's a terrible fright (Ooh)

This old new sensation, 'nother stone cold hit

Comin' up out the radio

It goes so slow, it don't never quit

Man, you can't fight it, don't even try

Left an' right, they's goin' in drag-step time

This old repetition make 'em lose their mind

So, children, direct your feet right way on 'long

That all infectious beat, come on

Everyone you know's out in the street

We gon' see if you can't sing along

Well, when you hear that zombie rockin' slow

Till the break of dawn in the Congo

Ain't gon' lay to rest till the mornin' light

Gon' raise some sand in the dead of night

(To the left, to the right)

My mama hear them mumblin' low

(Till the dawn breakin' light)

They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor (Ooh)

(In the dead of the night)

Can you hear the little children cry?

(Cryin', mama, mama)

Watch out

Zombie's a terrible fright (Ooh)

I grown so afraid of the man in the street

With a finger on the pulse, look dead on his feet

The way he say, "All I wanna do is eat, and eat"

I close my eyes, but why can I not rest?

'Cause the fear of death that do not die

Unsettled me where I lie

That's why I bring 'em my best ol' slow-footed jump

Here rollin' with the things in the night go bump

I wanna rid my head of all that nasty, nigglin' junk

Well, when you hear this zombie rockin' slow

Till the break of dawn in the Congo

Ain't gon' lay to rest till the mornin' light

Gon' raise some sand in the dead of night

(To the left, to the right)

My mama hear them mumblin' low

(Till the dawn breakin' light)

They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor (Ooh)

(In the dead of the night)

Can you hear the little children cry?

(Cryin', mama, mama)

Watch out

Zombie's a terrible fright (Ooh)
