Lyrics
Intro
Hee-hee-hee, come closer, come closer (come on)
Skree—welcome to the hall where the candles grin
Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha—oh-oh
Verse
Count Davula greets you with a crooked bow
Velvet cape, crooked teeth, a cheeky vow
His beautician's braid is a glorious mess (mess, mess)
She paints his nails with starlight and tangles his chest
The dungeon door swings on a rusty ring
Where violins growl and the tubas sing
Glass jars hum with a lullaby for the brave
And the portraits wink from the cracked, crooked nave
Chorus
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Where the creatures sing and the curtains swoon, yeah-yeah
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Count Davula says, "Donate—keep us in tune" (donate, donate)
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Where the creatures sing and the curtains swoon, yeah-yeah
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Or Mervin might stop by to say hello—uh-huh
Verse
Mervin the Monster lumbers past the candelabra
Sidekick with a grin and a growl like a barcarole (growl)
He folds his napkin like a pirate at tea
He loves new visitors—especially three
There’s a mirror that giggles and a broom that hums
A choir of bats doing syncopated drums
The count shows you his creature features—feather, fang, and fin
To scare the bee-jabbers right out of their skin (skree, skree)
Bridge
He points to the ledger, flips a page with a grin
"This little town keeps my larder thin" (thin)
He winks: "My shopping list—local and neat
Give a little love and you'll keep your feet" (keep your feet)
Chant: la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la (la-la)
Chorus
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Where the creatures sing and the curtains swoon, yeah-yeah
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Count Davula says, "Donate—keep us in tune" (donate, donate)
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Where the creatures sing and the curtains swoon, yeah-yeah
Welcome to the dungeon of doom, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Or Mervin might stop by to say hello—uh-huh
