MAIN THEME
Hollywood Symphony Orchestra and Chorus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're all together ooky
The Addams family
Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams family

Neat
Sweet
Petite

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on




We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams family

Overall Meaning

The Addams Family main theme is a classic song that perfectly captures the eerie and mysterious essence of the iconic characters from the original titular television show. The opening lyrics of the song, "They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky," provide an accurate portrayal of the family members, who are perceived as bizarre and chilling.


The next line of the song, "They're all together ooky, The Addams family," highlights the family's strong bond and their unconventional way of living that is perceived as disturbing to outsiders. The three adjectives 'neat, sweet, and petite' are then used to describe Morticia Addams, the matriarch of the family who exudes an air of calmness and beauty amidst the macabre ambiance that surrounds her.


The last verse of the song seems to invite the listener to enter into the world of the Addams Family by instructing them to dress appropriately in "a witches shawl" and get "a broomstick you can crawl on" to visit their house, which is described as a museum showcasing their odd and amusing lifestyle.
