Screamin' Ball
The Duponts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We had a oooo horror party
We had a oooo horror party
Everybody had a screamin′ ball
Last night at Dracula Hall

Dr. Jekyll came with Frankenstein
Put acid in the soup, poison in the wine
Weird things crawled from under the sea
And witches cackled up a storm of fiendish glee

We had a oooo horror party
We had a oooo horror party
Everybody had a screamin' ball
Last night at Dracula Hall

Count, uh, Dracula, well, bless my soul,
Took the Thing from Outer Space and they did the Stroll
The five-fingered beast had the time of his life
And threw an atom bomb at Dr. Cyclops′ wife

We had a oooo horror party
We had a oooo horror party
Everybody had a screamin' ball
Last night at Dracula Hall

The clock struck twelve, I hollered out "Police!"
That's when Jack the Ripper did his party piece
There was a whole lotta shakin′, ′til the sun came up
With one more scream (Aaaaah!) I woke up

We had a oooo horror party
We had a oooo horror party
Everybody had a screamin' ball
Last night at Dracula Hall
Everybody had a screamin′ ball
Last night at Dracula Hall




Everybody had a screamin' ball
Last night at Dracula Hall...
