Gotta catch my breath as you come to life -
Wasn't sure if this would be successful -
That assembled dead body parts could revive.
And even though I knew -
With those electrodes in your neck -
I zapped your brain,
You stirred and rose from the table -
I knew that you were born.

Hideous monster - all bileous green,
That's my boy!
He's always full of life -
In time for Halloween.
Go on out and trick or treat -
Go and scare gang bangers back to their own street.

When I saw you the first time -
That crooked little smile -
sent shivers down my spine.
That's how I knew -
That you would be a true Frankenstein.
Some folks may say you're a fright -
You chase the werewolves in the moonlight from my door -
As I hear them bay, that's when you say,
"Daddy, love you more!"

Hideous monster, show what you can do -
Run through town -
They're coming after you -
Don't think they understand you.
Go on, climb up that windmill -
They won't get you - you gotta make a sequel.

It's time you found a bride,
But not my Elizabeth -
She says you are not her type -
Can you not tell she yells a banshee yell -
Everytime that you draw near?
Just keep in mind -
That you don't hit your wife in the face -
With a grapefruit rind.

Hideous monster, Hollywood hero,
My true son!
Your brothers think I'm nuts -
My grandson calls me "Doo, doo!".
But, I'm proud to call you mine -
Star of stage, screen and TV, my Frankenstein.
