Seanan really needs more sleep.

Chainsaws and killers and creatures that slaughter,
Signs that suggest you stay out of the water.
Killer bees bred to have flesh-eating stings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Rust colored padlocks and barbed wire fences,
Horrible things tearing down your defenses.
Black bats that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Scientists laughing and playing with lightning,
Movies designed to be nasty and frightening.
Martian invaders that swallow prom kings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the sun shines,
When the bird sings,
When they've all gone mad,
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad!

I love the monsters
I love the stormy skies
I love dinosaurs
I love Pennywise

I love the horror world
and all its screams of pain

(chorus)
Boomdiada
Boomdiada
Boomdiada
Boomdiada

I love the old tombs
I love the evil things
I love my chainsaw
I love Egyptian kings

I love the horror world
and all it’s craziness

(chorus)
Boomdiada
Boomdiada
Boomdiada
Boomdiada

I love the axe crazy
I love arachnids
I love the hellhounds
I love the giant squids

I love the horror world
It’s such a fright'ning place

(Repeat chorus until insane)

Thx =)

Vroom! A saw, a big chainsaw
Aaah! Two teens engaged in sex
Creak! An old wood cabin's door
Grr! A killer who is vexed
Eek! A girl who's on the run
Duh! But she goes in the room
Tsk! She'll die 'cause she's no nun
Which will bring us back to Vroom!

Oh, god, this is fabulous.

I have a version of this somewhere that Sargon wrote which is way more horrible and disgusting. Yours win for humor! Especially the bees.

I may never quite get this out of my head...but it should be an interesting mix with the rest of your lyrics that run around in there.
Thanks

Well that certainly made my evening go better (and I was singing it in my head as I read, too - can't sing out loud as I work in a library!)
