The Ghost Of Stephen Foster

Squirrel Nut Zippers · Other Songs - Squirrel Nut Zippers

Met the ghost of Stephen Foster at the Hotel Paradise

This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes

Rooms were made for carpets

Towers made for spires

Ships were made for cannonade to fire off from inside them



Going to run all night

Going to run all day

Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day, no no no

Going to run all night

Going to run all day

Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day, no no no



Met the ghost of Stephen Foster at the Hotel Paradise

This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes

Ships were made for sinking

Whiskey made for drinking

If we were made of cellophane we'd all get stinking drunk much faster



Going to run all night

Going to run all day

Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day, no no no

Going to run all night

Going to run all day

Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah
