lyrics

WICKED ANNABELLA

In a dark and misty house where no Christian man has been
Wicked Annabella mixes her brew that no one’s every seen.
Her relatives have passed her by too scared to even say hello.
She’s in perpetual midnight, she shuts out the day
And goes about her sinful way.
I…I’ve seen her hair. I’ve seen her face look towards mine!
I…I felt her eyes burnin’ my soul, twistin’ my mind.

Little children who are good should always go to sleep at night,
‘Cause Wicked Annabella is up in the sky hoping you will open your eyes.
Don’t go into the woods tonight ‘cause underneath the kinks and stones
Are lots of little demons enslaved by Annabella
Waiting just to carry you home.
Ooooooooooooooooooo

Cha-cha cha-cha-cha.
Fa-fa fa-fa-fa.
Cha-cha cha-cha-cha.
Fa-fa fa-fa-fa!
I…I’ve seen her hair! I’ve seen her face look towards mine!
I…I felt her eyes burnin’ my soul, twistin’ my mind!
Yeah!!
(Meow!)
