You all can keep your convent
That life don't suit me well
This is my finest moment
Here's another story you can tell
When I was just a baby
An orphan with no home
The spirits came to save me
Taught me how to manage on my own
How many arms and legs has she?
Keep a close eye on my hands and feet
You might feel a little pinch or two
Is it just us in the darkened room?
This ain't no sideshow magic
There's nothing up my sleeve
Nobody can explain it
People want so badly to believe
Why don't we turn the tables
Raised up by spirit hands
Make an investigation
Find out what you think you'll understand
Study but nobody solves the mystery
Of this little girl from Napoli
Books and diplomas will do you no good
Class is getting started in the darkened room
Hear me moan and hear me wail
Swallow tongue and lizard tail
From my head a cold wind blows
Hear me wail and hear me moan
(Eat drink sleep be)
(Idle love and touch)
(The sweetest things)
(Of life but not succumb)
In this modern age of wonders
Things go bump in the night
Brand new atomic forces
Hold on tightly when we dim the lights
Let's gather for the séance
There's nothing to conceal
You can apply your science
Do you think that you can prove what's real?
Call me a faker call me a cheat
I crackle with electricity
Your wildest theories could be true
Come and find out in the darkened room
You all can keep your convent
That life don't suit me well
This is my finest moment
Here's another story you can tell
