Dark Drama in the Haunted House

Intro
(Erie pipe organ melody builds into heavy, slow rock drums and a distorted guitar riff)

Verse 1
Midnight strikes on the parlor clock
There’s a tapping at the window, a phantom knock
I poured two drinks, but I’m here alone
While a skeleton’s practicing the saxophone
Got cobwebs hanging from the chandeliers
And a gargoyle whispering his oldest fears
It’s a terrifying night, or so it seems
But I’m just trying to live out my gothic dreams!

Chorus
Oh, it’s a dark, dark drama in the haunted house!
Scaring the shadows and a squeaky mouse!
I wear a velvet cape and I strike a pose
While a ghostly choir hits a minor note!
Yeah, we’re spookin’ in style, oh can’t you see?
It’s a hilarious, high-class tragedy!

Verse 2
The portrait on the wall keeps rolling its eyes
Every time the mansion starts to terrorize
I tried to summon demons from the underworld
But I ended up with ghosts whose hair is curled
The vampire’s complaining that his tea is cold
And the mummy’s unravelling, he’s getting old
It’s a monstrous mess, it’s a frightful sight
But we’re having the time of our lives tonight!

Chorus
Oh, it’s a dark, dark drama in the haunted house!
Scaring the shadows and a squeaky mouse!
I wear a velvet cape and I strike a pose
While a ghostly choir hits a minor note!
Yeah, we’re spookin’ in style, oh can’t you see?
It’s a hilarious, high-class tragedy!

Guitar Solo
(Dramatic, soaring gothic guitar solo with heavy organ backing)

Bridge
(Music drops low to just a creeping bassline and eerie organ)
Listen close to the howling wind...
Is it a creature of darkness coming in?
Nah, it’s just the werewolf ordering pizza again!

Guitar Fill
(Heavy power chords explode back in)

Chorus
Oh, it’s a dark, dark drama in the haunted house!
Scaring the shadows and a squeaky mouse!
I wear a velvet cape and I strike a pose
While a ghostly choir hits a minor note!
Yeah, we’re spookin’ in style, oh can’t you see?
It’s a hilarious, high-class tragedy!

Outro
Spookin' in style...
High-class tragedy...
(Campy maniacal laugh fading out into a heavy final organ chord)
