[Chorus]
Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's something down there
I don't wanna go
Hey, Romeo
There's something down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's something down there

Hey, Romeo
There's something down there
I don't want to go down to the basement

[Chorus]
Hey, daddy-o
I don't want to go down to the basement
There's something down there
I don't wanna go
Hey, Romeo
There's something down there
I don't want to go down to the basement
