<\/a><\/p>\n\u202aIt struck her that day\u202c<\/p>\n
\u202aWandering, astray\u202c<\/p>\n
\u202aShe\u2019d no identity, her own\u202c<\/p>\n
\u202aSo she did express\u202c<\/p>\n
\u202aHer feelings depressed\u202c<\/p>\n
\u202aAll that monster did was moan. \u202c<\/p>\n
Moan moan moan<\/p>\n
All that monster did was moan<\/p>\n
Take me right home<\/p>\n
You big Green chaperone<\/p>\n
I\u2019d rather be<\/p>\n
By myself all alone.<\/p>\n
Groan, groan, groan<\/p>\n
All that monster did<\/p>\n
was groan<\/p>\n
Please let me be<\/p>\n
You\u2019re just not for me<\/p>\n
I can tell that you\u2019re swell<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no need to yell<\/p>\n
So I might just be<\/p>\n
Throwing a bone.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m alone, I\u2019m alone I\u2019m alone<\/p>\n
Sitting here on this<\/p>\n
great big throne<\/p>\n
Thinking of picnics<\/p>\n
Hayrides and mischief<\/p>\n
Wondering where to go<\/p>\n
All alone<\/p>\n
Then it hit me<\/p>\n
like a bolt from the blue<\/p>\n
My hair stood straight up<\/p>\n
For you, only you<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll make myself nice<\/p>\n
And dress to entice<\/p>\n
And pretty soon people<\/p>\n
will be throwing<\/p>\n
Sticky rice<\/p>\n
On our wedding day dear<\/p>\n
This is true<\/p>\n
For my eyes are just for you<\/p>\n
Only you<\/p>\n
One green and one blue<\/p>\n
You know what to do<\/p>\n
Am I not your<\/p>\n
Monstrous dream come true?<\/p>\n
I know just what I\u2019ll do, do you?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m coming for you, yes you<\/p>\n
Oh, it\u2019s true!<\/p>\n
Your house on a hill<\/p>\n
A horror double bill<\/p>\n
My darling dear darling<\/p>\n
Doctor Baron von Frankenstein!<\/p>\n
(I\u2019m marrying a doctor!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
