[English]

I walk and walk the zombie walk

I walk and walk, but wait!

I lost my arm, my lovely arm

Somewhere along the way

Whoo, says the owl, who did this, who?

The witch did this to you

down by the cemetery gate

Hee he he hee hee

Boo!

I walk and walk the zombie walk

I walk back all the way

I see the witch, the wicked, wicked witch

down by the cemetery gate

Hey you, I say, come out!

Give back my arm, my lovely arm

Or I'll take yours, I shout

Hee he he hee he

Boo!

I walk and walk the zombie walk

I walk and walk, but wait!

I lost my hair, my lovely hair

somewhere along the way

Whoo, says the owl, who did this, who?

The ghost did this to you

down by the cemetery gate

Hooo hoo hoo hooo hooo

Boo!

I walk and walk the zombie walk

I walk back all the way

I see the ghost, the goofy, goofy ghost

down by the cemetery gate

Hey you, I say, hey you!

Give back my hair, my lovely hair

It's full of dirt, it's true

Hooo hoo hoo hooo hooo

Boo!
