At the Zoo, in the Train, in the Loop, and the Golden Nugget
He’s been following me for the day.
And crazy little thing like this has never happened to me.
I’m praying he’d go away.

God forbid, he’s found my home.
God forbid, he’s on my porch.
God forbid, I hear his song –
Nevermore the Raven. Lurking in my Haven.

And he says he took to me like raisin nectar,
Since the day I smiled him away.
And now he’s gone and made a sport of writing letters to me,
Of all his Qualifications.

God forbid, he’s found my home.
God forbid, he’s on my porch.
God forbid, I hear his song –
Nevermore the Raven. Lurking in my Haven.

And the phone decided not to give me dial tone,
When I heard you creaking across my hardwood floor.
No, the phone decided not to give me dial tone,
And now I hear you tapping at my door.
Now I hear you tapping at my door – now, I hear you…

Rat-ta-tap, etc.

God forbid, he’s found my home.
God forbid, he’s on my porch.
God forbid, I hear his song –
Nevermore the Raven. Lurking in my Haven.
