Night of the Living Dead
From the album American Boy & Girl (1979)
Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys
It was the night of the living dead
Everybody was dead in their head
Everybody was dead
And the maid was in bed
And the butler he said “get up!”
The people were placid
So calm and collected
So utterly, utterly
So still and serene
They came in like zombies
Asleep and affected
They sipped from their cocktails
An incredible scene
Just a robot
Actin’ crazy
He’s so happy
‘Cause he’s got some clout
Just a robot
From the college
On vacation
Drinkin’ Dragon Stout
It was the night of the living dead
Everybody was dead in their head
Everybody was dead
And the maid was in bed
And the butler he said “get up! get up!
get up! get up! get up!”
There’s David and there’s Lisa
So cold and controlled
Like frozen emotion
Like ice on the ocean
The girls are all naked
And wet by the pool
And the boys are all part of the jet-set
Composed and so cool
Just a robot
Actin’ crazy
She’s so happy
‘Cause she’s got some clout
Just a robot
From the college
On vacation
Drinkin’ Dragon Stout
It was the night of the living dead
Everybody was dead in their head
Everybody was dead
And the maid was in bed
And the butler he said “get up! get up!
get up! get up! get up!”
I’m gonna’ take you higher and higher
