SPOOKY
Music by Mike Shapiro and Harry Middlebrooks, Jr., 1967.*
Words by James Cobb and Buddy Buie, 1968.
As recorded by the Classics IV, 1968.

In the cool of the evening, when everything is gettin’ kind o’ groovy,
I call you up and ask you if you'd like to go with me and see a movie.
First, you say no; you've got some plans for the night,
And then you stop, and say – “All right.”
Love is kind o’ crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

You always keep me guessin’; I never seem to know what you are thinkin’,
And if a fellow looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin’.
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand,
And then you smile – and hold my hand.
Love is kind o’ crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
Spooky, hey, yeah.

[saxophone break]

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin’,
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's been a-dyin’ to be sayin’.
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin’ my dreams,
So I'll propose – on Halloween.
Love is kind o’ crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
Spooky!

Spooky! Yeah, well, all right, ... [etc., and fade]
