The Crypt-Keeper's Song

Words by Ed Chamberlain
for OVFF Lyrics Contest of 1998
Theme: Parodies of TV Theme Songs
(won 2nd place)

(Words in parentheses are sung to a counter-melody)

Thru the Lightening and the rain
You travel to my place,
Because you know that I am more
Than just a pretty face.

(Dodging all that lightning
Can be just a little frightening.)

Then come on down those winding stairs
That you know so well,
And join me in a terror tale
In the cellar where I dwell.

(Such a cozy little hell
In the cellar where I dwell.)

My tales abound with blood and gore,
And many creepy things.
They think I'm just a puppet,
But it's me who pulls the strings.

(They may say I'm just a puppet,
But I'm not your average Muppet.)

Come and visit - if you dare.
