Frankie Boy




Frankie boy,
you’re so ghoulishly handsome
with your graveyard tan

My baby boy is
one Munster hunk of a man 
With your strong and cold 
cadaver Addams Family hands

You’re gonna make 
your momma Morticia cry
And wipe the nightshade mascara
from my bloodshot, vampire eyes

Frankie boy,
tighten your steel bolts
and straighten that skeleton necktie

Your future bride,
with the electroshock hair,
said she’s gonna zombie stop on by

And your favorite uncle, my brother Festus,
with the light bulb bald head
Will be dating her Bewitched auntie Endora,
that’s what our butler Lurch said

My other mother’s daughter Lily,
and her husband Fred
Along with her Grandpa,
and your cousins, Pam and Ed
All will be coming thru to voodoo visit too

Frankie boy,
tell your two daddies
Vic and Gomez to come downstairs
Make sure they shut the lab door, 
‘cause there’s a draft in the dank castle air

Frankie boy,
go get your sister and brother,
Wednesday and Pugsley
Tell them to come on down too 
It’s our favorite night of the year, it’s Halloween ... 
and we got a lot of scaring to do!
