Lyrics
Hello Song
Hello there, how are you?
It's so nice to see you
We'll sing and happy
That we're all here together again
Ghost of John
Have you seen the ghost of John?
All white bones with the skin all gone
Ooooooooooo......
Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on?
Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Double, Double Toil and Trouble
Round about the cauldron go; In the poisn’d entrails throw.
Sweltered venom sleeping got, boil thou first in the charmed pot.
Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake.
Eye of newt, and toe of frog. Wool of bat and tongue of dog.
Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Adder’s fork and blindworm’s sting. Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing.
Add thereto a tiger’s cauldron, for the ingredients of our cauldron.
Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Things That Go Bump in the Night
In the middle of the night when the house is dark,
And the final burning ember in the hearth goes out,
Just as eyelids start to close,
Just as you begin to doze,
There in the hall a resounding thump!
Things that go bump in the night!
Things that go bump, things that go bump,
Things that go bump in the night.
As you calm yourself down from the terrible shock,
And you hear the steady ticking of the great hall clock,
Could have sworn it chimed thirteen.
After all it’s Halloween!
Or possibly a frightful dream...
Things that go bump in the night.
Things that go bump, things that go bump
Things that go bump in the night!
So you pull the covers up over your head,
Trying not to think what may be under your bed.
Creaking floors, squeaking doors,
We never had a problem with ghosts before!
Things that go bump in the night!
Things that go bump, things that go bump,
Things that go bump in the night.
The Monster Mash
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the Mash - He did the Monster Mash
The Monster Mash - It was a graveyard smash
He did the Mash - It caught on in a flash
He did the Mash - He did the Monster Mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the Mash...
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman,
Dracula and his son
The scenes were rockin’
All were diggin’ the sounds
Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group,
“The Crypt Kicker Five”
They played the Mash...
Out from his coffin Drac’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
“Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?”
It’s now the Mash...
Now everything’s cool, Drac’s part of the band
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, the Mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can Mash...
The Addams Family Medley
When You’re An Addams
When you’re an Addams, you need to have a little moonlight.
When you’re an Addams, you need to feel a little chill.
You have to see the world in shades of grey.
You have to put some poison in your day.
When you’re an Addams, you need to have a sense of humour.
When you’re an Addams, you need to have a taste for death.
Who cares about the world outside and what it wants from you?
When you’re an Addams, you do what Addams always do.
One Normal Night
Please can’t we be an average family?
One normal night, that’s all I want, that's all I need from you.
One normal house without a mouse to feed a plant or two.
You must admit we’re not what people call “laid back.”
So can’t we muse a bit and lose the basic black? Whoa!
One normal night with normal people on their way.
Just one normal night… Whaddaya say?
Do do do doot
One normal night, no, not one poem, not one inspiring word.
One normal scene, complete routine, tonight can’t be absurd.
Please don’t embarrass me or be completely rude.
Don’t make a fuss about the house, about the food. Whoa!
One normal night I know it’s big, but can’t you see,
This one normal night is for me.
Just Around the Corner
Death is just around the corner, waiting patiently to strike.
One unplanned electrocution,
That’s the kind of end I can comprehend.
When I’m feeling uninspired or I need a little spree,
I’m reborn, knowing death is just around the corner coming after me
Death is just around the corner, no one’s ever been immune.
When I step into my coffin,
Cozy as can be for all eternity!
I can face a new tomorrow if I make it past today.
I feel good saying death is just around the corner,
Coming for us all!
