Sometimes I take my music too seriously. This is not one of those times. This song makes me so incredibly happy and is one of my favorite I have ever written for any pursuit. Enjoy!
I had a hard time wakin' up this morning
Felt like I was stuck in a dream
So I sat up in bed and I rubbed my head and I figured I should brush my teeth
So I got up and I walked to the hall and a strange dark portal was spinnin' on my wall and I stepped inside and I went for a ride and the nightmare came to life
Yeah a werewolf tore off my face
And a zombie ate all my brains
And a vampire drained what was left of my blood, it's true
And I got back together with you
Well this wasn't much fun so I started to run but the monsters kept closing in
And I started to think, and it started to sink in that I might not be able to win
So I got out my machete and my faithful dog Betty and we fought until we were blue
But their magic was strong and it wasn't very long til there was nothin' that we could do
Yeah a werewolf tore off my face
And a zombie ate all my brains
And a vampire drained what was left of my blood, it's true
And I got back together with you
Yeah a werewolf tore off my face
And a zombie at all my brains
And a vampire drained what was left of my blood, it's true
It's true
There were nuclear bombs goin' off
And I couldn't find one of my socks
And I stubbed my big toe on the end of a digeridoo
And I got back together with you

Well, that gave me a smile! Thanks!

This is going down as my favorite of yours, which is saying something because your catalog is ridiculously good. I think it's the cleverness of the lyrics (list of terrifying supernatural things followed by resumption of a bad relationship, "my other leg, my other other leg") and overall levity. Super fun and catchy.

Ha! I suffer from the same "too serious" problem, so I can relate to that lament. Not sure I can relate to being able to write songs of this caliber, but we can dream. :)
The chorus is awesome, especially the last one with all the additions. I also love the play acting during the interlude. Hilarious. Great singing, both technically and how smoothly you adopt a role. Even the silly stuff feels totally sincere, which is why it works so well.
Great stuff.

Just love this! I’m getting Bare Naked Ladies vibes, especially in that brilliant cut out on the ‘got back together with you’. The lyrics are so sharp, vocals are perfect and the production is utterly awesome. Well played, sir.

Ha! Love it!
Great lyrics, and the music holds the comedy together. Really well done!

Haha! So great! My favorite chorus is the last one with the didgeridoo. I REALLY hope I get to see a music video for this someday.

This is an amazing song. It reminds me of Jonathan Colton.
Super fun, creative lyrics and somehow turns into a love song. Excellent work!

That was Jonah barking lol.
@bethkille Feb 2022
Was that your actual dog barking? And I think we need to add a digeridoo to the band, know anyone? Super fun stuff.

Lmao! I wanna meet Betty.
