Fright of Their Lives (2016 Original Demo)

Lyrics

[Betelgeuse] Okay, listen up I'm not gonna lie Right now, you couldn't frighten a fly Or scare a seagull off of a fry You ever stop to ask yourselves "why?" Both of you are super polite Middle-class, suburban and white Well all of that is finished tonight Exept for the "white part", obsivoisly Take your places I want scary faces Now go No No No No How do I say this? Both of you basically blow No No Woah Don't be so vanilla Would a little anger kill ya? C'mon, drop your panties I'm trying to fill ya- With wisdom and skill and the instinct to kill [Adam, spoken] Wow, it's really hard to scare [Betelgeuse, spoken] Jesus Adam, grow a pair! [Betelgeuse] Whatever it takes to make 'em go crazy Rasin' the stakes by punching a baby Scare 'em awake 'til they break They'll be quaking in fright 'Cause you got some evil, deep down inside you Put all of the Tupperware parties behind you You gotta work, gotta haunt 'Til it hurts through the night Give those guys the fright of their lives Yeah, yeah! Oh yeah, the fright of their lives Let's start with things that you hate [Adam] Hate's a very strong word [Barbara] Perhaps when people are late [Adam] Or getting swooped by a bird [Betelgeuse] No! What fills you with rage? [Barbara] Ooh! Being mean to a pet [Adam] Chefs who overuse sage when they make beurre noisette [Betelgeuse] Okay! [Barbara] Or cotton candy! [Betelgeuse] Cotton candy? [Barbara] I find it too sweet [Adam] Folks who drop litter right out on the street [Betelgeuse] Okay [Barbara] Over-glutenous food [Betelgeuse] Right [Adam] Or when kids call me "dude" [Betelgeuse] Sure [Barbara] Oh, I find that so rude! [Betelgeuse] Well, there's lots there to use Take a deep breath, give me your best primal scream [Barbara] Ahhh! [Adam] Barbara that was brilliant [Barbara] Really? [Betelgeuse] Try it again Maybe this time pretend like you mean it [Barbara] Ahhh! [Adam] Wow, that was even better [Barbara] Thanks [Betelgeuse] Hey, forgive me if this comes out crass But try taking that stick right from out of your ass! [Barbara & Adam] Oh my god! [Adam] You ever thought of maybe trying to be positive [Betelgeuse] I'm sorry, you want positive? I'm positive that you are shit! I want freedom But to get my freedom, I need them To get a living person to say my name [Barbara & Adam] Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice [Betelgeuse] I know that beggars can't be choosers But do they have to be such losers? Both of them are deathly dull and lame [Barbara & Adam] Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! [Betelgeuse] Why God/Satan did you send these bed-wetters? Even like a tax attorney would have been better Somebody with gravitas, somebody to fear, who- [Adam] Jesus Christ, Beetlejuice, we can fucking hear you! [Betelgeuse] Oh! Sorry. I thought that was a soliloquy Anyway (Epic Drum Solo) Whatever it takes to make 'em go crazy! [Barbara] Turn all the lights on! [Adam] Dress like a lady! [Betelgeuse] What? No! Come on! Get your heads in the game! [Barbara] Let's hide their keys! [Betelgeuse] FUCK THEIR KEYS! There's a bastard deep down within you He better come out if you wanna continue There's gotta be something! [Barbara] I'm sorry, there's nothing [Betelgeuse] What, not even one thing? Come on, think! [Barbara & Adam] We're trying! [Betelgeuse] I can't cope! You dopes are both hopeless! How will I ever survive? Unless they get the fright of their lives! No No They gotta get the fright of their lives No No God, they'll never get the fright of their lives! (Spoken) I'm out
