the little man who wasn’t there

Glenn Miller Orchestra

Tex Beneke is whistling (whistlewhistlewhistle)...

Glenn Miller: Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?
Are you whistling in the dark just to scare the ghost away?

Tex Beneke: I know thereââ?¬â?¢s something following me that I canââ?¬â?¢t see
Someone sure laid an awful hex on me!

Glenn Miller: A hex? Ah, Tex, thatââ?¬â?¢s pretty far-fetched.
Man, Iââ?¬â?¢d say youââ?¬â?¢re just a little bit tetched!

Tex Beneke: Youââ?¬â?¢d got a load of what I saw last night
Youââ?¬â?¢d pass the Yankee Clipper on its maiden flight!

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasnââ?¬â?¢t there
He wasnââ?¬â?¢t there again today
Oh, how I wish heââ?¬â?¢d go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldnââ?¬â?¢t see him there at all!

Go away, go away, donââ?¬â?¢t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please donââ?¬â?¢t slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasnââ?¬â?¢t there
He wasnââ?¬â?¢t there again today
Oh, how I wish heââ?¬â?¢d go away!
