| Lyrics: | The Edison Museum, not open to the public
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above
it
Folks drive in from out of town to gaze in amazement when they see it
Just outside the
gate, I look into the courtyard
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm
Through the iron bars,
I see the Black Mariah
Revolving slowly on its platform
In the topmost tower, a light burns
dim
A coiling filament glowing within
The Edison Museum, once a bustling
factory,
Today's but a darkened cobweb-covered hive of industry
The tallest, widest, and
most famous
Haunted mansion in New Jersey
Behind a wooden door, the voice of Thomas
Alva
Recites a poem on a phonograph
Ghosts float up the stair
Like silent moving
pictures
The loyal phantoms of his in-house staff
A wondrous place it is, there can be no
doubt
But no one ever goes in
And no one ever goes out
So when your children
quarrel, and nothing seems to quell them
Just tell them that you'll take them to the Edison
Museum
The largest independently owned and operated
Mausoleum |
