When You're an Addams (From "The Addams Family")

Ah, the intoxicating spell of the graveyard.
Once a year when the last leaf of autumn falls,
We gather to honor the great cycle of life and death.
Come, every member of our clan
Living, dead, and, undecided
And let us celebrate what it is to be an Addams.
When you're an Addams
You need to have a little moonlight
When you're an Addams
You need to feel a little chill
You have to see the world in shades of grey
You have to put some poison in your day
That's the way
When you're an Addams
You need to have a sense of humor (hahaha)
When you're an Addams
You need to have a taste for death
Who cares about the world outside
And what it wants from you
When you're an Addams
You do what Addams always do!

When you're an Addams
You gotta have a lotta passion
When you're an Addams
You need to really love your wife
Several times a day
You're happy when your toes are in the mud
You smile a bit the moment you smell blood
AA-OOOH!!!
When you're an Addams
You need to grab a bow and arrow
When you're an Addams
You need a moment to explode
Just pour a potion
Flip the switch
And wait till things get hot
When you're an Addams
You have to really stir the pot

So keep your sunshine
And keep your glee
Country music and Tennessee
Keep your laughter
And MTV
And all will be all right
Give us shadows and give us gloom
Broken glass in a motel room
Something fun we can all exhume
And give it all tonight!

And on this special night,
beneath our Family Tree, we summon our beloved Ancestors.

Once torn asunder
Down six feet under
We get to gather here
Dead for forever
Bled from whatever
Called now to reappear
Every cadaver
Start the palaver
Once in an Addams year
Hold your decaying
Hear what we're saying
Time now to give a cheer

Line Dance!
Bunny Hop!
Do the Twist!
Rigor Mortis!

When you're an Addams (That's right! When you're an Addams)
You have a very special duty (Late night! Out with the Addams!)
When you're an Addams (With one bite)
You're obligated to the clan
It's family first and family last
And family by and by
When you're an Addams
The standard answers don't apply
When you're an Addams
You do what Addams do or-
Ughhh
Die!
