Back Stabbing Betty haunted the cemetery
It was Halloween night and it really was scary
She saw Big Willie’s tombstone and wondered why
He had died this fatal death, she wanted to cry
Booger Eatin’ Nelda was lying there too
Never been kissed, hey, how about you?
Crazy Debby was truly a strange critter
Someone really sick of her probably hit her
Eyeball Head Harry saw things quite different
I think maybe his brain was just a bit bent
Knucklehead Ned was a kinda nice guy
Musta’ ate poison that caused him to die
Liar Liar Carolyn told so many fibs, I guess
Caught up in lies and never would confess
No Ears Eddy, the poor man didn’t hear
The train that day and he was such a dear
One Eyed Jack was so good for nothin’
Ended up buried in a cheap wooden coffin
Potty Mouth Paul said so many dirty words
Chased everyone away, even the birds
Snooty Tooty Crissie was such a snoot
Drowned in a rainstorm and no one gave a hoot
So ya gotta be so careful folks, what ya say and do
Cause all this kinda dying could happen to you!
