Zombies in June (Patreon)

about

This is a song that I made notes for a few years ago, and then just sat down and wrote in the summer of 2015. It decided to be a big Broadway-style number. Most of the vocals are mine, but we have a bit of Simon's voice joining the zombies on the "Dooby Doo's."

lyrics

Zombies in June
Copyright 2015 by Mary Crowell

Verse One:
I took a little gamble
When the graveyards I would ramble
In the month of June.
(Dooby Doo)
I found it real surprising
When the dead—
they started rising
At the crack of noon.
(Doobity Doo)

The zombies started singing
And the church bells started ringing
‘Cause the end time’s soon.
(Dooby Doo)
Now it’s hot in Alabama
As I groan and moan
and shamble
Sing this little tune.
(Doobity Doo)

Chorus:
Zombies in June
Zombies in June
Maybe disease
Or cold ancient runes
Made us zombies in June
Humming a tune
Singing, “Brains, brains, brains!”

Verse Two:
It’s hot here in this season,
‘Though the evening’s rather pleasin’
In the month of June.
(Dooby Doo)
And it’s really kind of funny
How I miss my tea with honey
At the crack of noon.
(Doobity Doo)

Now we walk around decaying
Though inside I hear them praying
‘Bout the end time’s soon.
(Dooby Doo)
Done with allergies and sneezin’
But there’s still a little wheezing.’
When I sing this tune. (Doobity Doo)

CHORUS

Bridge:
Zombies kill all of us
Make quite a meal of us
Skin they might peel from us.
Just for the thrill of us.
Then, the zombies will sing . . .

CHORUS (Twice)
