Only The Two Of Us Here
I camped one night in an empty hut On the side of a lonely hill. I didn't go much on empty huts, But the night was awful chill. So I boiled me billy and had me tea And made sure that the door was shut. Then I went to sleep in the empty bunk By the wall of the old slab shed.
Now it must have been in the middle of the night When I was feeling cosy and warm I woke and there at the foot of my bunk I see a horrible ghostly form It seemed in shape to be half an ape With a head like a chimpanzee And I wondered what it was doing there, And what did it want with me?
You may say if you please that I had DTs Or call me a crimson liar, But I wish you had seen it as plain as me, With it's eyes like coals of fire. Then it gave a groan such a horrible moan, That my blood run cold with fear, And 'There's only the two of us here, ' It said. 'There's only the two of us here!'
I kept one eye on the old hut door Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And one on the awful brute; For I only wanted to dress meself And get to the door and scoot. But I couldn't find where I'd left me boots So I hadn't a chance to clear And, 'There's only the two of us here, ' it said. 'There's only the two of us here!'
I hadn't a thing to defend meself, Couldn't find a stick nor a stone, And 'There's only the two of here!' It said, again with a horrible moan. I thought I'd better make some reply, For I thought that the end was near, I said 'Tarzan old man when I find my boots, By hell there'll only be one of us here.'
Well I get my hands on me number tens And out through the door I scoots, And I lit the whole of the ridges up With the sparks from me blucher boots. So I've never slept in a hut since then, And I tremble and shake with fear When I think of the horrible brute that moaned, 'There's only the two of us here!'
