When You're an Addams Songtext

von Andrew Lippa

Ah, the intoxicating spell of the graveyard.
Once a year when the last leaf of autumn falls, we gather to honor the great cycle of life and death.
Come, every member of our clan - living, dead and undecided - and let us celebrate what is to be an Addams.
When you're an Addams You need to have a little moonlight When you're an Addams You need to feel a little chill You have to see the world in shades of gray You have to put some poison in your day
The's the way
When you're an Addams
You need to have a sense of humor When you're an Addams
You need to have a taste for death Who cares about the world outside And what it wants from you When you're and Addams You do what Addams always do!
When you're an Addams
You gotta have a lotta passion
When you're an Addams
You need to really love your wife Several times a day Addams
You're happy when your toes are in the mud
You smile a bit the moment you smell blood AA-OOOH!!!
When you're an Addams
You need to grab a bow and arrow When you're an Addams
You need a moment to explode Just pour a potion
Flip the switch
And wait till things get hot
When you're an Addams You have to really stir the pot
So keep your sunshine And keep your glee
Country music in Tennessee
Keep you laughter
And MTV
And all will be all right Give us shadows and give us gloom Broken glass in a motel room Something fun we can all exhume And give it all tonight!
And on this special night, beneath our Family Tree, we summon our beloved Ancestors.
One torn asunder Down six feet under We get to gather here
Dead for forever
Bled from whatever
Called now to reappear
Every cadaver Start the palaver Once in an Addams year
Hold your decaying Hear what we're saying Time now to give a cheer
Line Dance! Bunny Hop! Do the Twist! Rigor Mortis!
When you're an Addams
That's right! When you're an Addams
You have a very special duty
Late night! Out with the Addams! When you're an Addams
With one bite
You're obligated to the clan It's family first and family last And family by and by When you're an Addams The standard answers don't apply When you're and Addams You do what Addams do or
Ughhh
Die!
