Close Your Eyes Words and Music ©2003 Daniel Glasser All Rights Reserved Close your eyes and sleep There are demons in your dreams Go to sleep my darling there's a demon underneath your bed Demons in your bed are going to eat you up Stay in your bed There are landmines on the floor. The demons in your bed are going to eat you up Sugar and spice and everything nice Why do you think we say that? So the demons in your bed will want to eat you up

You used to have a sister She wouldn't go to sleep The demons in her bed Ate her up

Do not call for your mother; Who is it you think who let the demons in to eat you up? Snakes and Snails and Puppydog tails; (pause; shrug) Who can account for the tastes of demons? Baby don't you cry or the demons won't wait until you're asleep before they eat you up My father sang this song to me But he slipped and fell on a landmine And the Demons underneath my bed Ate him up That is not a blanket... (very long, poignant pause) (spoken) Goodnight !

Monster Mash Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Cryptkickers Hear this song at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0thH3qnHTbI (play along with capo at 1st fret)

From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpex.net/Uke

[G] I was working in the lab late one night when my [Em] eyes beheld an eerie sight For my [C] monster from his slab began to rise and [D7] suddenly to my surprise

He did the [C] mash he did the MM the M [Am] M it was a graveyard smash He did the [C] mash it caught on in a flash he did the [D7] mash he did the MM

From my [G] laboratory in the castle east To the [Em] master bedroom where the vampires feast The [C] ghouls all came from their humble abodes To [D7] get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the [G] mash they did the MM the M [Em] M it was a graveyard smash They did the [C] mash they caught on in a flash They did the [D7] mash they did the MM

The [C] zombies were having fun (dinnersuit) The [D7] party had just begun (dinnersuit) The [C] guests included Wolfman (dinnersuit) [D7] Dracula and his son

The [G] scene was rocking all were digging the sounds [Em] Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds The [C] Coffin Bangers were about to arrive With their [D7] vocal group The Crypt Kicker Five

They played the [G] mash they played the MM The M [Em] M it was a graveyard smash They played the [C] mash they caught on in a flash They played the [D7] mash they played the MM

[G] Out from his coffin Drac’s voice did ring [Em] Seems he was troubled by just one thing He [C] opened the lid and shook his fist And said [D7] whatever happened to my Transylvanian twist

It’s now the [G] mash it’s now the MM the M [Em] M and it’s a graveyard smash It’s now the [C] mash it caught on in a flash it’s now the [D7] mash it’s now the MM

Now [G] everything is cool Drac's a part of the band My [Em] MM is the hit of the land For [C] you the living this mash was meant too When you [D7] get to my door tell them Boris sent you

Then you can [G] mash you can MM the M [Em] M and do my graveyard smash Then you can [C] mash you’ll catch on in a flash Then you can [D7] mash then you can MM [C]

MM = Monster Mash!!

Dead People (by Blind Lemming Chiffon) (tune: Short People, Randy Newman)

Dead people got no reason Dead people got no reason Dead people got no reason to live. They come from New Orleans, And some witch doctor’s curse. Hey, death is bad enough, But trust me: this is worse. Y’know when people die You plant ’em in the ground. You plant ’em six feet deep. Don’t want ’em walkin’ ’round. Well, I don’t want no dead people Don’t want no dead people Don’t want no dead people ’round here. Dead people are just the same As you and I (We all gotta die.) We all act like zombies Every now and then. (When we don’t get enough sleep.) Dead people got nobody Dead people got nobody Dead people got nobody to love. They smell like rotting flesh, And they wear torn-up clothes. They can’t even make music: They just de-compose. I used to like ’em, But I don’t no more. Hope they don’t marry my sister Or move in next door. They kinda stomp around ’Til they fall off a cliff, Because they can’t see nothin’ And their legs are stiff. Well, I don’t want no dead people Don’t want no dead people Don’t want no dead people ’round here.

NOTE: The same 4 chords repeat over and over. G Em C D
