I Dated a Dead Man
Most girls are there happiest when their guy is proposing
Me I'm giddy as can be when mine's not decomposing
Well I leave my boyfriend breathless
He's just funny that way
But he always brings me daisies
He pushed up earlier that day
Oh once I-I-I dated a dead man
(A dead man she said she dates a dead man)
You can laugh if you wanna
But he really was warmer than most
(she in the mood but the bitch is datin' worm food)
You can call me a blasphemic lover
Peg me a liar if you can
But once I-I-I dated a dead man
It was grave the way he played me
As he held me in his trance
And I became the victim of this lustful necromance
He was lots of fun at parties
But he never could tell ya what he felt inside
Which is what led me to my conclusion
After being so disillusioned with his
Rigimortal emotional side
And once I-I-I dated a dead man
(He's really neat when he isn't getting' cold feet)
You can laugh if you wannna
But he really was warmer than most
(the boy was mod when he wore his suit of sod)
It's a numbing kind of sensation
And I don't expect you to understand
How once I-I- I dated a dead man
And it's no fun laying next to someone resting in peace
When you're tossing and turning in side
Well I nearly lost my head
I could've screamed to wake the dead
But last night I gave him the last rights to me
And once I-I- dated a dead
You can laugh if you wanna
But he really was warmer than most
Though his heart was stone and he left me lonely
I really don't like to boast
But now I-I-I'm dating the ghost
Of his memory that is
Now I-I-I'm dating the ghost
