Song Lyrics
They’re creepy and they’re kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They’re all together ooky
The Addams family
Their house is a museum
When people come to see ’em
They really are a scream
The Addams family
Neat
Sweet
Petite
So put a witch’s shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We’re gonna pay a call on
The Addams family
They’re creepy and they’re kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They’re all together ooky
The Addams family
Strange
Deranged
The Addams family
