Molly Starlite & the Sputniks - The Curse of the Tiki Lyrics

Warm breeze on a tropical night
No inkling things would go awry - uh huh
Things were just swell
Neither of us could anticipate
Foretell or prognosticate - oh no
How we'd succumb to a tiki spell

You grabbed my hand said, Are you feeling brave
And pointed at the mouth of cave - oh no
We should have run the other way

Usually I like long walks on the beach
But I must admit... this one wasn't a peach
I had an eerie feeling walking down my spine
Held your hand tighter in mine
Baby
Could this be
The curse of the tiki

You'd think that it'd dark in there
That strange red glow gave us quite a scare - uh huh
Don't know why we kept going
Then suddenly up ahead
I just about fell over dead - oh yeah
To see those red eyes glowing

The ground shook and rumbled and the tiki spoke
And it let out a puff of smoke - oh no
We should have run the other way

It said who dares disturb my slumber
Then I couldn't shake off the spell we were under
Our mouths went slack and our brains went numb
I didn't know what this was
But baby
Think we agree
It's the curse of the tiki

Our knees were shaking
Our hearts were racing
And when I glanced at you
There was no mistaking
No debating
You felt it, too
The tiki said
"You'll do my bidding... you're under my spell
Listen close and listen well
You'll do this undertaking
Now that I'm awakened
Take me back to the luau at your hotel

Such a small thing, we didn't mind
Not that we had much choice at the time - uh huh
We were in a trance
The room fell silent when we walked in
You could've heard the drop of a pin - oh yeah
And then the tiki made everybody dance

Drinks in coconuts were passed around
And the band was playing a rockin' sound - uh huh
The tiki's ghost got the party started

You probably don't believe in the tiki's ghost
A little bit scary but she was a great luau host
You're probably thinking it's a little far-fetched
But you're already making your travel plans
You gotta see to believe in the Curse of the Tiki
