mrs. bates has caused her son to slaughter
moms as dark as her are something rare
its so sad
he's murdered girls and how
mom makes it clear it enough
those ladies end, supine

she's hard to discern...the cops ain't caught her
she remains a secret sort of dame
norm gets changed
in drag, he makes his bow
when girls come near, he snuffs
who'll be the next in line ?

walkin' about
in a dress, he's proud, well
he'll stalk you out
takes a poke and
oh wow

if mom finds a girl's been 'round to see him
('round to see him)
she will think the whole thing's out of line
(out of line)
she'll rant on
then norm assumes her part
he can't do as he please
he doesn't have the spine

squawkin' about
always nice and loud, well
she's flippin' out
makes her son feel
so cowed

if the person asks if they can see her
(ask to see her)
norm will say she's fine, but must decline
(must decline)
cause she's gone
no longer beats, her heart
for several years, deceased
by looks, its more than nine
