Lyrics
Death's Favourite Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fairy cakes, baby ducks. Warm winter mittens.
Snowflakes on puppies, and cute cuddly kittens.
One of these might be your favourite thing.
But not me - its scary, that makes me go zing!
Smallpox and scurvy, and fatal diseases.
Lesions and lurgy, I like to hear wheezes.
Of bogies and poo, I just can’t get enough.
Yes, that’s just a bit of my favourite stuff.
Scary, hairy.
Things that go bump in the night.
Slimy, grimy.
I love that stuff, that gives you a fright.
Emperor Vitellius, being dumped in Rome's Sewers.
Brandings with iron for Tudor wrongdoers.
Aztecs with thousands of skulls on a rack.
Amateur executions, Hack, hack, hack, hack!
Pharaohs all buried with their bottom wiper.
Roman deodorant made from a viper.
Burke and Hare stealing from Edinburgh's graves.
Yes, these are a few of my personal faves.
Creepy, weepy.
Do I prefer pustules or boils? Hm...
Spooky, kooky.
Some of my best friends look like gargoyles.
William the Conqueror's exploding body.
A gutsy performance, a funeral most oddy.
Ivan the Terrible stealing a bishop's togs.
Sowed him in bear skins and let out the dogs...
When I'm feeling just a bit miz.
Standing at death's door.
I simply remember what makes people barf, and then I just laugh.
Loads more!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee!
