lyrics

A rumour was whispered
In fear to the dancers
They crept to the arms of La Sorelli
Black cloak and deaths head
As Buquet described him
In the third cellar slung from a beam
Joseph found hanging
He was sent with a voice from God
He who haunts the halls
All alone
Superstition ran deep in La Sorelli
Monsieurs Poligny and Debienne
The managers last night, shrouded in death
So they left the house in the hands
Of the new owners, Richard and Montcharmin
The book of instructions passed on to them
Follow the rules or so God help thee
He was sent with a voice from God
He who haunts the halls All alone
A mischief abounds
Make sure and obey article 63
Stay away from box five
Stay away
20,000 francs paid in full each month
Sealed and sent to the ghost
On their desk a letter was found
A frayed page with the script of a child
What fools do they think we are?
My dear managers, you have broken the rules
If you want us to live in peace then keep box five free
Three knocks on an empty box
Four francs, sometimes six
Even flowers left in his stead
So rent out box five, they demanded in anger
With those cursed five words spoken
Doomed was the business they ran
