Do you remember it was back in late September
When we started getting ready for IT
We got our costumes and we're ready to be exhumed
And we're rolling back the slabs on the crypt
We were moaning and groaning for brains
Dripping with their human remains
I see their eyeballs were dead in their eyes
At nightfall the dead will arise
We're at the zombie prom
Everybody dead but they be singing along, yeah
We're at the zombie prom
We'll never get to heaven cos we've done so much wrong
I said "Hey boy you don't know that you're dead
But there are sixteen candles in the side of your head"
I said "Hey girl oh you think you're alive
You haven't heard a hit since '84, '85"
We're at the zombie prom
Everybody dead but they be singing along, yeah
We're at the zombie prom
We'll never get to heaven cos we've done so much wrong
Have you forgotten there was something going rotten
And it's not the cafeteria lunch
In the gymnasium they're kicking off their craniums
I think they might be spiking the punch
And now my arms hang dead at my side
There are worm holes, spiders and flies
Under the stage lights there is nowhere to hide
At nightfall those dead will arise
We're at the zombie prom
Everybody dead but they be singing along
We're at the zombie prom
We'll never get to heaven cos we've done so much wrong
I said "Hey boy you don't know that you're dead
But there are sixteen candles in the side of your head"
I said "Hey girl oh you think you're alive
You haven't heard a hit since '84, '85"
We're at the zombie prom
Everybody dead but they be singing along, yeah
We're at the zombie prom
We'll never get to heaven cos we've done so much wrong
Z-O-M-B-I-E-P-R-O-M
Zombie prom
Z-O-M-B-I-E-P-R-O-M
Zombie prom
Oh they were moaning and groaning for brains
Dripping with their human remains
And their eyeballs were dead in their eyes
At nightfall the dead will arise
And now my arms hang dead at my side
There are worm holes, spiders and flies
Under the stage lights there is nowhere to hide
At nightfall the dead will arise, oh you know we're at the
We're at the zombie prom
Everybody dead but they be singing along, yeah
We're at the zombie prom
We'll never get to heaven cos we've done so much wrong
We're at the zombie prom
Everybody dead but they be singing along, yeah
We're at the zombie prom
We'll never get to heaven cos we've done so much wrong
We're at the zombie prom
We're at the zombie prom
We're at the zombie prom
We'll never get to heaven cos we've done so much wrong
