Addams Family
Victor Mizzy AHO and Chorus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics to Victor Mizzy & His Orchestra's song The Addams Family describe the unique family and their spooky yet entertaining lifestyle. The opening lines, "They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky" showcases their distinct personality traits. The following line, "They're all together ooky/The Addams family" establishes that these traits are what make them a family. The song then goes on to describe their home as a museum where they are the exhibits, emphasizing how their lifestyle can be an attraction for others, despite the family's odd habits or behaviors. The chorus is then repeated, which simply emphasizes the title line "The Addams Family."
In the last abrupt line, "Neat/Sweet/Petite," the lyrics switch from spooky to something more endearing, perhaps showcasing the unique combination of spookiness and charm that the family embodies. The song ends with "So get a witches shawl on, a broomstick you can crawl on, we're gonna pay a call on the Addams family," which almost acts as an invitation to the listener to join the family's eccentric lifestyle.

Thanks so much for the really lovely comment :) The band meet up on Saturday mornings and usually rehearse 3 or 4 new pieces to play at a concert at the end of each trimester. They are just about to go on tour to Austria. I am a parent to 2 of the sax players who play with several bands - you might like to check out some of the other stuff on our AlpineMarmots page!
