Lyrics The Zombie - C.W. Stoneking

The Zombie

W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow
Till the break o' dawn in the Congo
Ain’t gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
Gonna raise some sand in the dead o' night
(To the left, to the right)
M-mama hear them mumblin' low
(Till the dawn breakin' light)
They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)
(In the dead of the night)
Can you hear the little children cry?
(Cryin' «Mama, mama») Watchout!
(Arghh!) Zombie’s a terrible fright
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
This old new sensation
Nuther stone cold hit
Comin' up out the radio
It go so slow, it don’t never quit
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
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
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
So children
Direct your feet right way on 'long
That all infectious beat, c’mon
Everyone you know’s out in the street
We gon' see if you can’t sing along…
W-when you hear that zombie rockin' slow
Till the break o' dawn, in the Congo
Ain’t gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
Gon' raise some sand in the dead o' night
(To the left, to the right)
M-mama hear them mumblin' low
(Till the dawn breakin' light)
They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)
(In the dead of the night)
Can you hear the little children cry?
(Cryin' «Mama, mama») Watchout!
(Arghh!) Zombie’s a terrible fright
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
I grown so 'fraid of the man in the street
With a finger on the pulse, look dead on his feet
Way he say, «All I wanna do is eat, an eat.»
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I close my eyes
But why can I not rest?
Cause the fear of death that do not die
Unsettle me where I lie
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
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
W-when you hear this zombie rockin' slow
Till the break o' dawn, in the Congo
Ain’t gonna lay to rest, till the mornin' light
Gon' raise some sand in the dead o' night
(To the left, to the right)
M-mama hear them mumblin' low
(Till the dawn breakin' light)
They go shufflin', shufflin', across the floor, (ooh ooh ooh)
(In the dead of the night)
Can you hear the little children cry?
(Cryin' «Mama, mama») Watchout!
(Arghh!) Zombie’s a terrible fright
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
