Mercyful Fate - Deadtime lyrics

(Music: Denner/Lyrics: Diamond)

"Lie down in your dead little baby

You know it's getting late

Listen to this deadtime story

And hold on to your head"

And it's wasy past her deadtime...the night has just died

Little blood red Riding Hood was passing through the woods

A basket full of poisoned fruit

She's absolutely way to cute

And it's way past her deadtime...the night has just died

Good Old Nick is in her blood and it makes me feel so hot

Devil eyes, that's no surprise, she's colder than ice

The werewolf is hiding with its yellow glowing eyes

Drooling for some baby blood, he's jumping in the night

And he knows where Red is riding

He knows here Grandma well

That big bad werewolf's got it down, he cannot fail

And it's way past her deadtime...the night has just died

SOLO: Denner

Grandma's waiting in here dead for sweetest little Red

When she ate the werewolf's head, you could not even tell

There is no way out

There is no way out for sweetest little Riding Hood

'cause Granny won't be full

Until Red is dead and gone...Bye, bye

SOLO: Shermann

And it's way past her deadtime...the night has just died
