1959’s House on Haunted Hill originally had a theme song with lyrics. However, the final cut - as we all know - only included the instrumental version. These were the lyrics penned by Richard Kayne:
There’s a house on Haunted Hill
Where everything’s lonely and still…
And the ghost of a sigh when we whispered good-bye lingers on
And each night gives a heart broken cry
There’s a house on Haunted Hill
Where love walked; there’s a strange silent chill…
There are memories that yearn for our hearts to return
And a promise we failed to fulfill.
But we’ll never go back - No, we’ll never go back!
To the house on Haunted Hill!
