Parody re: romantic pop songs. Lovelorn suitor is a mad scientist supervillain. Upbeat melody and melancholy choral harmonies are conventional signs of romantic longing. They’re subverted by the scientist’s abduction-, gene splicing-, and apocalypse generating- seduction tactics. A total creep is si...
[Verse 1]
Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far
I see you've met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he's harmless enough
He's a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things
And bringing them to me
[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
[Verse 2]
I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
[Bridge]
Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves
My doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who lead their foolish lives
May find it quite explosive
Well it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here
[Verse 3]
You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
So maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I've been patient, I've been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink
And think about me and you
[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm so into you
But I'm way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
I'm not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
I shouldn't kill you yet
