Lyrics
Song by Every Ape and His Brother
Set to the tune of Baby, It's Cold Outside by Frank Loesser, as performed by Dean Martin and Marylin Maxwell
First verse
Please, dude, let me in! (But, baby, you're dead inside!)
Don't send me to the inn! (But, baby, you're dead inside!)
This evening has been... (Been frightful, but who turned you?)
So very mean! (I'll deadbolt the basement door, right?)
My mother won't recognize me! (I'm surprised that I do!)
My father would shoot me at the door! (Can't say I'd blame him!)
So, really, I'm really worried! (How you not buried?)
The National Guard might do more! (Why should that be my chore?)
The neighbors might think... (Babe, you're a walking corpse!)
That their brains I would drink! (Fair enough for the Marine Corps!)
I wish I knew how... (Please, who did this to you?)
To find a cure! (Me too; you're scaring me now!)
I'm eager for some brains....No, no, no, stop! (What I was afraid of!)
Wish I recalled the moment I died! (Wish I knew how you're half-alive!)
Chorus
Got nowhere to stay! (Oh, baby, don't guilt me!)
Baby, you're dead inside!
Second verse
I really need in! (But, baby, you're dead inside!)
Can't let the Feds win! (But, baby, you're dead inside!)
This world out here's been; (Bet it's a hellscape now!)
So mean and cold! (Still don't wanna attract a swarm!)
My sister is malicious! (Is she infected, vicious?)
My brother will be launching grenades! (And lobbing at my house in spades!)
The tanks might roll up soon, me dusting! (Or they'll turn to bunker-busting!)
Can hardly wait for a second more! (I've never housed a zombie before!)
I can never go home! (But, baby, you're dead out there!)
Don't leave me shambling to roam! (They'd have no mercy out there!)
I'll try to be bland! (All right, but don't you dare scratch up my hand!)
I'm tame right now, see? (Must fetch you brains from the cemetery!)
There's bound to be raids tomorrow! (Where's a machine gun to borrow?)
They want to see the neighborhood fried! (That honey, is 'cause you un-died!)
Trail
Nowhere else to stay!
(The troops; they're a-comin'!)
Face it, you're dead!
Baby, you're dead inside!
