Rolling me down the highway  
Moving ahead so life won’t pass me by

We goin’ ridin’ on the freeway of love  
In my pink Cadillac

I know who you are,  
Open the door and climb in.  
Hold me real close, then do it again,  
I ache for the touch of my dead end friends

I love the dead before they’re cold  
Their bluing flesh for me to hold  
Cadaver eyes upon me see… nothing

And whosoever shall be found  
Without the soul for getting down  
Must stand and face the hounds of hell  
And rot inside a corpse’s shell

Listen  
I’m a corpse, I’m a corpse, I’m a corpse without soul  
Satan  
He’s taken, he’s taken, he’s taken his toll  
And he took it out on me

The party had just begun  
The guests included Wolf Man  
Dracula and his son

The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof  
At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof  
As Santa slid down the chimney wall  
The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall  
It’s good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?  
Things have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now  
I really wish you’d let us in  
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand  
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand  
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains

Brains, brains, it’s okay!  
It’s not a matter if it isn’t gray.  
And if at first they thinks it’s strange,  
they won’t think twice if they don’t have a brain!

Beans beans the musical fruit  
The more you eat the more you toot  
The more you toot the better you feel  
So let’s have beans at every meal!

Spam in the place where I live (ham and pork)  
Think about nutrition, wonder what’s inside it now  
Spam in my lunchbox at work (it’s the best)  
Really makes a darn good sandwich any way you slice it at all

If you’re running low, go to the store  
Carry some money to help you buy more  
The tab is there to open the can  
The can is there to hold in the spam

The chicken that they give you,  
They say it’s mighty fine.  
One jumped off a table  
And started marking time.

And in the master’s chambers  
They gathered for the feast  
They stab it with their steely knives  
But they just can’t kill the beast

It’s a beast he’s got fangs, razor sharp ones  
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast  
Hear him roar see him foam  
But we’re not coming home 'til he’s dead  
Good and dead  
Kill the Beast
