Bats in the belfry...oh golly!
Bats in the belfry...oooo!
Bats in the belfry oh my golly!
Comin' for to feed on you!
I met a bat in Nashvylvania
when I went a wanderin' there
With big red eyes and fangs like a demon
Gave me quite a scare
I said, "Sir do you know a place to go
Where a beast can Rest in Peace?"
He uncurled a claw and pointed yonder
To the graveyard down the street
Bats in the belfry...
I met a bat in the monster jail
But I might've been seeing things
Kinda like a shadow, kinda like a man
It's hard to tell when you're InSaNe.
Told me of a feller who was down and out
But then one Halloween...
He got a treat when a doctor from the looney bin
Scooped out part of his brain!
I ain't been the same since Halloween
When they locked me down in here
With all the bats in my belfry and my padded cell
I ain't never leavin' here.

One foggy night
When the moon was bright
As I was walking a winding road
My bones were tired
So I made up a fire while my stomach groaned
I cooked up some beans
And kicked up my feet
When I seen something in the dark
'twas a hobo the strolled
Down the road. The look on his face was stark.
He said,
"I've seen some things you'd never believe
in this dark and doomy forest.
I'll sing you a verse (if you'll feed me, of course)
about a creature so abhorrent"
It began to rain
He began to sing
As my fire grew ever dimmer
It was hard to hear
And I found it weird
He never touched his dinner.
The winds then cried
And my fire died
And the song began to fade
I couldn't see
In front of me
But I heard him all the same.
He said,
"I've seen some things you'd never believe
in this dark and doomy forest.
I'll sing you a verse (if you'll feed me, of course)
about a creature so abhorrent"
"Beware the wanderin' wolfman
Who stalks during nights like these
Beware the wanderin' wolfman
With claws and fangs and fleas"
In the dark
The clouds did part
and revealed a moon so full
My mind filled with fear
My body is scared
and my blood begins to run cold
Transformation begins!
I'm feeling my skin
Rip and turn into fur!
Blood, guts, and screams
as I open his veins
with my FANGS and it's all a blur
"I've seen some things you'd never believe
in this dark and doomy forest.
I'll sing you a verse (if you'll feed me, of course)
about a creature so abhorrent"
"Beware the wanderin' wolfman
Who stalks during nights like these
Beware the wanderin' wolfman
With claws and fangs and fleas"

'Twas in autumn my lady did fall
Like the leaves to the ground as embers
Her body grew cold as the wind which blowed
through the trees that September
That night as I wept for my love
Whom I buried quite sorely before me
A sound so faint did me awake
From beyond my bed chamber doorway
"Rattle-tee-tum
Rattle-tee-tee"
Like the sound of her jewelry
"OoO wAh OoO!"
It cannot be...
for i buried her on a Tuesday.
The clatter creeps closer
Through my darkened room
and the scent of roses and soil
I canst nearly see what's in front of me
Through the air black as oil
Now 'tis rattling by my bed
Distinctly, i know 'tis her necklace
She's come to avenge her lover who killed her
Soon, I too, will be headless!
"Rattle-tee-tum
Rattle-tee-tee"
Like the sound of her jewelry
"OoO wAh OoO!"
It cannot be...
for i buried her on a Tuesday.

There's some ghosts in this house...
3 am...down the hallway, I hear the creaking
of a rusty hinge.
It's Mary...she was a pretty lady
But on the day of her wedding...
She fell on a knife
And then she died.
Now in the night,
There's some ghosts in this house.
Orbs float down the twisting staircase
Where a boy played
a long time ago
One day, he didn't tie his shoelace
And met his sad fate....
When he fell on a knife
And he died.
Now in the night,
There's some ghosts in this house
Old man Jim was a religious zealot
with a lot of skeletons
Hidden away
He'd say, "you gotta suffer for your faith"
So then one day...
He fell on a knife
And he died
Now in the night,
There's some ghosts in this house

Lord, I hear that howling wind
Just a'whipping through the trees
There's a cold chill coming from beyond the grave
and I know it's a'comin' for me
How kindly I was to my brothers
and sisters in this town
Who barely knew me, til eventually
I'd bury 'em in the ground
I take your loved ones from the morgue
Now they're my loved ones, too!
I cut em open with a big ol' knife
and pump 'em full of goo
OOooOO
mmMMM
Who's gonna dig my grave?
I loved a woman cold as ice
And rigid as a walkin' cane
I'd take her dancing in the night
Underneath the promenade
And I had a best friend long ago
Stayed dressed to the nines.
He's even in his coat and tails
In that box of pine
At night they call my name from down
in the cold cold ground where they lay
But tonight I'm dyin' and I'll be reunited
With my friends I left in the grave.
OOooo
MMMmm
Who's gonna dig my grave?
Now the lights are going out
And I hear the hounds of hell
My soul with burn for the things i done
and my body will rot and swell.
My eyeballs will be eaten up
By worms inside my tomb
All alone, I'll decompose
Into a stinking ooze
I reckon I'm lucky to rot like this
I reckon it's a mighty good end
I'd hate to have done to me
What I done to my friends
OOoooOO
MMmmmMM
Who's gonna dig my grave?

Oh my dark lord I'm hungry again.
Oh my dark lord I'm hungry again.
Took my crypt...and they took my kin.
Oh my dark lord, what do I do?
Oh my dark lord, what do i do?
I'd do anything for a pint or two.
Bring me my thrall, she's a mighty good gal
Bring me my thrall, she's a mighty good gal
She's a sober woman...I drink from her like a cow!
I miss that woman, now she's repossessed
I miss that woman, now she's repossessed
Possessed by demons, if I had to guess
The devil gave me a cup and said, "Sip away!"
The devil gave me a cup and said, "Sip away!"
That devil blood got a proof of 108.
Oh my dark lord, what have i done
Oh my dark lord, what have i done
I'll be flying drunk, but oh dark lord, that's fun.
