I hear other girls get...chocolates
Champagne truffles, straight from France
I hear other girls get...j**elry
Or maybe taken out to dance
I hear other girls get...flowers
Long-stemmed roses by the bunch
Other girls go out to restaurants
Romantic dinner, cozy lunch
I hear other girls get sweetly romanced
By their anxious beaus who want their causes advanced
So they put on their pearls and get their a**ets enhanced...
That's not the situation with me
I don't ever get imported champagne
Or expensive gifts I'll have to try to explain
And yet 'you shouldn't have' is still my favorite refrain...
My situation's special, you see
My boyfriend brings me...dead things
I don't mean roadk**. He's not crude
I mean reanimated...corpses
Their patches surgically glued
My boyfriend makes me...monsters
Each one of them his own design
And when your presents come with name tags
They're that much harder to decline
I hear other girls get dazzled and dined
In romantic settings that were clearly designed
To say 'let's get it on' while still appearing refined...
That's not the situation with me
I don't ever get invited out to a show
And the EPA's condemned most of the places we go
Before we met I didn't realize ichor could glow...
We have our own unique chemistry
My boyfriend brings me...zombies
He takes 'recycling' to new lows
He says that wasting leads to...wanting
He's got a point there, I suppose
My boyfriend brings me...dead things
That's how he lets me know he cares
He's still living with his...parents
His secret lab's beneath the stairs
I hear other girls get clever and coy
Acting 'hard to get' and playing games with their boy;
Those aren't the female arts that I'm inclined to employ...
That's not the situation with me
Because pretty soon he's taking over the world
And there's worse descriptions than 'the mastermind's girl'
You can keep your champagne -- I'll give grave-robbing a twirl...
I'm getting used to necromancy
My boyfriend brings me...dead things
I've learned to like formaldehyde
Maybe this love's not...normal
But I'd love to be this Frankenstein's bride!
Yes, maybe we're not normal...
But I'd love to be my Frankenstein's bride!
