[00:08.000]Come on and bring your shovel, we're out for trouble and fright
[00:14.000]We'll take all we can carry from the old cemetery tonight
[00:19.000]In potter's field we'll disinter one dead person or two
[00:24.000]We need the freshest body we can get; nothing shoddy will do
[00:30.000]With a mind quite refined, but defined obsessed: that's young Herbert West
[00:35.000]His studies into death are quite progressed
[00:39.000]He needs flesh that is fresh in a special way, and shows no decay
[00:44.000]He can't use a stiff with a whiff: to avoid it he'll even slay!
[00:48.000]M.U's most brilliant student is not so prudent at times
[00:53.000]With loads of mad palaver he commits his cadaverous crimes
[0:57.000]As he injects a potion to witness motion anew
[01:02.000]You must admit it's terrific, Herbert's scientific breakthrough
[01:07.000]There's a typhoid epidemic stalking Arkham-town
[01:12.000]It has killed Dean Halsey, who's a doctor of renown
[01:17.000]But Herb's chemical-agent swiftly sent his saintly soul to hell
[01:22.000]While his mortal remains live in a padded cell. Well well well!
[01:27.000]It will cause the greatest horror this town ever saw
[01:32.000]Cause the Dean will tear and eat the flesh from bodies raw
[01:37.000]It'll look as grotesque as imagery by artist Sidney Sime
[01:41.000]These terrible things are the things we'll remember all through our time
[01:47.000]~~~~~~
[02:05.000]Bodies ripped from the crypt, terror gripped my heart, but I did my part
[02:10.000]I thought that Herbert West was really smart
[02:15.000]And alas, not too fast, but at last I learned his victims returned
[02:21.000]They came to avenge the syringe and he got the fate that he earned!
[02:24.000]The work was slow and sordid in a really morbid domain
[02:28.000]Herb was a workaholic with a cold diabolical brain
[02:34.000]To Herb, a human bein' was a mere machine made of meat
[02:38.000]It only goes to show you that old death is a foe you can't cheat
[02:43.000]It only goes to show you that old death is a foe you can't cheat!
