By an eerie green storm lantern Three ghouls were playing whist By an eerie green storm lantern In the swirling mist By an eerie green storm lantern How could I resist? By an eerie green storm lantern That's the night we kissed How you gonna get right down that spiral staircase How you gonna get right down them spiraling stairs Down below the cobbles shine It's a sixty-foot drop from yours to mine Better make it sixty-nine All your mistakes come and jabber round your bedside They brush your sleeves with loathsome tentacles They even try to kiss you but... Like rotting nurses Curses, curses "I'll tuck you in, sweetie!" Says your biggest mistake And after your mistakes, in come your failures As only failures can... They look at you reproachfully like a face in a frying pan They sit there so dejected 'Til their heads fall in their laps Then they bubble feebly at the lips And their bones protrude Right through their hips [Hearing the ghouls sing] By an eerie green storm lantern Three ghouls are playing whist By an eerie green storm lantern In the swirling mist By an eerie green storm lantern How could I resist? By an eerie green storm lantern That's the night we kissed Not a good night to be a red tomato On a long green stalk Not a good night to be a red tomato Let's sit down and talk Pull up a chair won't you? We could send out for some straw if you'd be more comfortable Maybe we could rustle up a beanbag Now then, Mr. Gerrold Take off your glasses Take off your shoes Why don't you, uh, loosen your skirt a little, Mr. Gerrold? You're among friends here Ain't that so... We're gonna get really close Ever been close? Not a good night to be a red tomato Oh! - are these your pips?
