As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
Oh how I wish he'd go away!

My grandmother used to sing this to me. I'm not sure if she made up the tune for it, or if someone else turned it into a song long ago, but I've never forgotten it.
Nice! I know I've heard that before somewhere long ago.
