Down in the basement
Down in the basement
Down in the basement
With the furnace and the spiders
Down in the basement
With the washer and the dryer
And the room that no one’s gone in
For such a long time
A very long time

Down in the basement
Down in the basement
Down in the basement
Down in the basement
With the laundry and the fuse box
Down in the basement
With the mildew and the lost socks

Down in the basement

Down…in…the…base-ment!

Down in the basement
Down in the basement we have fun
With the mice and the laundry tub
Water closets full of centipedes we shout with glee
Whooppeee!

Down in the basement shoo bee doo
I can’t see me and I can’t see you
Lights out the sunshine can’t come in what shall we dooooo?

Oh what shall we do?
What shall we dooooooo???
