Lyrics of When You're An Addams by Company
intro
Ah, the intoxicating spell of the graveyard
Once a year, when the last leaf of autumn falls
We gather to honor the great cycle of life and death
Come, every member of our clan, living, dead, and undecided
And let us celebrate what is to be an Addams
verse
When you're an Addams
You need to have a little moonlight
When you're an Addams
You need to feel a little chill
You have to see the world in shades of gray
You have to put some poison in your day
verse
That's the way
verse
When you're an Addams
You need to have a sense of humor
When you're an Addams
You need to have a taste for death
chorus
Who cares about the world outside
And what it wants from you?
When you're an Addams
You do what Addams always do
verse
When you're an Addams
You gotta have a lotta passion
When you're an Addams
You need to really love your wife
Several times a day
chorus
You're happy when your toes are in the mud
You smile a bit the moment you smell blood (a-whoo)
verse
When you're an Addams
You need to grab a bow and arrow
When you're an Addams
You need a moment to explode
chorus
Just pour a potion, flip the switch
And wait 'til things get hot
When you're an Addams
You have to really stir the pot
verse
So keep your sunshine and keep your glee
Country music and Tennessee
Keep your laughter and MTV
And all will be all right
verse
Give us shadows and give us gloom
Broken glass in a motel room
Something fun we can all exhume
And give it all tonight
verse
And on this special night, beneath our family tree
We summon our beloved ancestors
verse
Once torn asunder, down six feet under
We get to gather here
Dead for forever, bled from whatever
Called now to reappear
verse
Every cadaver start the palaver
Once in an Addams year
Hold your decaying, hear what we're saying
Time now to give a cheer
verse
Line dance
verse
Bunny hop
verse
Do the twist
verse
Rigor mortis
verse
When you're an Addams (that's right, when you're an Addams)
You have a very special duty (late night, out with the Addams)
When you're an Addams (with one bite)
You're obligated to the clan
chorus
It's family first and family last
And family by and by
When you're an Addams
The standard answers don't apply
When you're and Addams
You do what Addams do or die
