When You're An Addams

Ah, the intoxicating smell of the graveyard
 Once a year when the last leaf of autumn falls
 We gather to honor the great cycle of life and death
 Come, every member of our clan, living, dead, and undecided
 And let us celebrate what it is to be an Addams
 When you're an Addams
 You need to have a little moonlight
 When you're an Addams
 You need to feel a little chill
 You have to see the world in shades of gray
 You have to put some poison in your day
 That's the way
 When you're an Addams
 You need to have a sense of humor
 When you're an Addams
 You need to have a taste for death
 Who cares about the world outside
 And what it wants from you?
 When you're an Addams
 You do what Addams always do
 When you're an Addams
 You gotta have a lotta passion
 When you're an Addams
 You need to really love your wife
 Several times a day
 You're happy when your toes are in the mud
 You smile a bit the moment you smell blood (ah-ooh!)
 When you're an Addams
 You need to grab a bow and arrow
 When you're an Addams
 You need a moment to explode
 Just pour a potion, flip the switch
 And wait 'til things get hot
 When you're an Addams
 You have to really stir the pot
 So keep your sunshine, and keep your glee
 Country music and Tennessee
 Keep your laughter and MTV
 And all will be all right
 Give us shadows and give us gloom
 Broken glass in a motel room
 Something fun we can all exhume
 And give it all tonight!
 And on this special night
 Beneath our family tree
 We summon our beloved ancestors
 Once torn asunder
 Down six feet under
 We get to gather here
 Dead for forever
 Bled from whatever
 Called now to reappear
 Every cadaver, start the palaver
 Once in an Addams year
 Hold your decaying
 Hear what we're saying
 Time now to give a cheer
 Line Dance!
 ♪
 Bunny Hop!
 Do the Twist!
 ♪
 Rigor Mortis!
 When you're an Addams (that's right!)
 (When you're an Addams) you have a very special duty
 (Late night, out with the Addams!)
 When you're an Addams (with one bite)
 You're obligated to the clan
 It's family first and family last
 And family by and by
 When you're an Addams
 The standard answers don't apply
 When you're an Addams
 You do what Addams do or (ugh)
 Die!
