Carole King - The Awful Truth lyrics

The awful truth

Concerning me

The creature-feature mystery

Is simply this

In the worst way

I wanna play

MRS. DRACULA

The challenge is tough

But I know I've got the stuff

To be just spectacular

Can't you see it in lights

ROSIE REALLY MEETS DRACULA!

So close your eyes

And visualize

Me in a cape

And fangs in my head

Loving a guy who's mostly dead

(I don't see him often

'Cause he sleeps in a coffin)

Nothing could be zanier

Than our lives in Transylvania

We're fabulous one day

And rotten the next

Variety says

THOSE TWO MUST BE HEXED!

At six in the morning

When my sweetie is yawning

I feed all the bats

A mush made of rats

Then I tidy the tomb

Cover all the trap doors

And wash any old blood stains

Offa the floors

DON'T YOU SEE

This juicy part

Was meant for me!

I got the looks

I got the style

I got the bloodshot eyes

And a ghastly smile

It's the dream of my life

To play DRACULA'S WIFE!

The reviews will all rave

This movie's a whopper

A super show-stopper

And no one can top her

Not Rosie!

Dear Academy,

Take note

I should get the Oscar vote

If I don't

I'll bite your throat!
