A Story

Lyrics

I got a story
 A sad sad story
 About a girl
 Who met a boy
 About her mother
 Whose vision saw her
 Daughter to marry
 Another boy
 (Nooo nooo nooo...)
 They made a plan
 To get away
 To run away
 And though it be hard
 To make that day
 Freely to live
 Without the mother
 They'd send a postcard
 (Nooo nooo nooo...)
 Out on the interstate
 That's where they made their mistake
 That's where they met their fate
 Out on the interstate
 They met a monster
 The monster of the interstate
 Who will not hesitate
 Who eats teenagers
 Like a shark eats little fishes
 Who eats bad kids disobeying parents wishes
 An interloper against the elopers
 A troll at the pay toll
 They stopped at the toll booth
 And reached for a quarter
 The monster filled the whole booth
 He gave them no quarter
 "Don't eat me"
 Chirped the girl
 Clutching to her purse
 "Don't eat me"
 Croaked the boy
 "Or eat her first
 I'll turn right around
 And take her back to her mother's
 We repent of being out of wedlock lovers"
 "You should have thought of that before"
 And a scaly horny hand
 Ripped the car lock door
 And the boy
 Tried to drive
 But oh boy
 He was eaten alive
 And the girl
 Tried to scream
 But she was swirled
 In the giant's vanilla ice cream
 And the boy was yummy
 And the girl was yummy
 As they slid down the throat
 To the monster's yellow tummy
 He said:
 "Hmm hmm good
 Didn't do like they should
 Hmm hmm good
 Didn't do like they should"
 The mother sold the
 Rights to the story
 It was so scary
 This gory story
 They made a movie
 A horror movie
 The mother made a million
 And the producers made a billion
 "And that other sweet boy
 That my daughter has shunned
 Now I'm his wife and he's my husband"
 The moral of this story
 Is clear for all to see
 And if clearly all can see
 Then it isn't clear to me
