Creepy Confections

SUNG TO THE TUNE OF “MY FAVORITE THINGS” As Found in the “Sound of music” Lyrics by JTC I like confections, that feed all my craving Macaroons covered with coconut shavings Sugar plum cookies so big, you should share Theses are the things that I like to prepare Raspberry jelly, fills my cookie centers The icing on top, I learned from my mentors Sprinkling Jimmies fly free through the air Theses are the things that I like to prepare Marzipan made from pumpkin and spices Covered in chocolate, serves all my vices Lemon drop candies are made with such care These are the things that are fun to prepare But when the night comes, and the moons out And I’m feeling dead I simply remember, that I like fresh brains And turn to eat them, instead Eyeballs and ears with curdled blood icing I hand the brains to others for slicing Mincing the meat, to make pies with a flare These are a few of the things I prepare My special treat, are raw ladies’ fingers As soon as they’re served, they seldom do linger When pickling livers, the others just stare But these are the things that I like to prepare I boil skulls till they’re soft and chewy Cook down the blood till it’s thick and gooey Resisting these snacks, Is the thing I can't bare Cause these are the things that I like to prepare But when the day comes and the suns out And I’m filled with life I simply return to the living again And cook up some sweets........ till night
