It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer

It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long

When I was having a party and wanted to hear a song
A disconnected finger appeared where it didn't belong
It floated above the floor and wrote something on the wall
No one could read the writing so someone was called

It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long

He said, my father was crazy with fingernails like claws
And that he ate gr*** with ***es, then he paused
Then when he continued, he mumbled about his God

He said my days were numbered, so I started to nod
It's late now, I'm alone, still thinking about what I saw
Something woke me up, a strange noise out in the hall
I hear it again

It was a finger instead of a singer
It was a finger instead of a song
It was a finger instead of a singer
It didn't stay too long

It was a finger instead of a singer
(Finger, it was a finger)
It was a finger instead of a song
(It was a finger, a magic finger)

It was a finger instead of a singer
(Magic finger, magic finger)
It was a finger instead of a song
(Magic finger, a magic finger)
It didn't stay too long
