lyrics

This handsome bloke called Dave
He knew just how to misbehave
Days go by reeling the next rave
Through a heave of gluttony
And Vaudeville society
Brothel creepers kept him going
So he won't be home for tea
On her knees by the trapeze
With her leg of mutton sleeves
he found a kindred spirit space cadet
And she rode upon his shoulders
In her golden spotted bloomers
And held on to his lamb chops in the night

Please don't ask us why
A magic world unfolds before our eyes
Magic monster creepers
Dance around the monster keepers
Who vanishes right before our eyes
Ask us how we do
This mystery it stays with me and you
Soon came in the dark
Drinking ciders in the park
A tincture of Beelzebub for you

When their house became a prison
And their minds were in a schism
a poster took their sould to the sublime
If you're feeling kind of chronic
Dr Kilmore's got the tonic
Take your swamp root down to Kilmore's
For the greatest show in town
You can see the dreaded crooners
In their golden spotted bloomers
Juggle swords and chainsaws for a price
And the saucy, sultry siren
With a chainsaw set on fire
Just take a seat and cut yourself a slice

Please don't ask us why
A magic world unfolds before our eyes
Magic monster creepers
Dance around the monster keepers
Who vanishes right before our eyes
Ask us how we do
This mystery it stays with me and you
Kilmore knows you're on it
Drink some swamp root liver tonic
A tincture of Beelzebub for you...
