At midnight that same night   The Lafayette's were sleeping   At midnight that same night   There is a shadow creeping      Salem is moving without a sound   Salem is moving, moving, moving   To the burial ground      So hot and so quiet   Only the leaves are shaking   By one of the graves   Doctor Le Croix is waiting      Salem is moving without a sound   Salem is moving, moving, moving   To the burial ground      Doctor Le Croix, shaking the hand of Salem      My my my my my God   Salem tell me the secret   My my my my my God   This makes me feel uneasy      In shock Le Croix is terrified   This could be the end   Fear turns to hate   Great Wanga will befall the Lafayette's      Salem, help me, save us   Salem, help me, save us   By turning them to dust      So take this money and off you go   To Madame Sarita's Boutique of Voodoo   A snake curse and a little 'Goofer Dust'      You Salem will be the link   Between them and us   This could be an easy way   To turn the Lafayette's to dead      Two hours later, Salem leaves Madame Sarita      My my my my my God   Salem is looking scary   My my my my my God   Now he's heading for the cemetery      Kneeling in front of one of the graves   A handful of soil and Salem is on his way   He must leave a copper penny as payment for the soil      And to protect himself   From all the spirits that could   Come and dig themselves into his head   Dead dead dead, Salem is here      By the house, in the dark   There is a shadow digging   The snake in the bottle   Is buried and it's ready      Salem is moving without a sound   Everyone's sleeping, but me   'Cause I don't need it, no
