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
