The Little Man Who Wasn't There

Tex Beneke is whistling (whistlewhistlewhistle)... 

  Glenn Miller: Hello there, Texas, whatcha say? 

  Are you whistling in the dark just to scare the ghost away? 

  Tex Beneke: I know there's something following me that I can't see 

  Someone sure laid an awful hex on me! 

  Glenn Miller: A hex?  Ah, Tex, that's pretty far-fetched. 

  Man, I'd say you're just a little bit tetched! 

  Tex Beneke: You'd got a load of what I saw last night 

  You'd pass the Yankee Clipper on its maiden flight! 

  Last night I saw upon the stair 

  A little man who wasn't there 

  He wasn't there again today 

  Oh, how I wish he'd go away... 

  When I came home last night at three 

  The man was waiting there for me 

  But when I looked around the hall 

  I couldn't see him there at all! 

  Go away, go away, don't you come back any more! 

  Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...  (slam!) 

  Last night I saw upon the stair 

  A little man who wasn't there 

  He wasn't there again today 

  Oh, how I wish he'd go away!
