Two years ago, on this very web log, I debuted a holiday masterpiece. Today, I am proud to repost that effort as I launch my new line of Christmas carols. My husband may be the lyrical genius in the family—his work may be the finale of the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus’s Christmas show in Carnegie Hall this month—but I am not without my own resources.
FRANKENSTEIN IS COMING TO TOWN
You'd better watch out
Get ready to cry
And scream, wail, and shout
I'm telling you why
Frankenstein is coming to town
He comes with a sneer
A menacing growl
He'll fill you with fear
And disembowel
Frankenstein is coming to town
He'll get you while you're sleeping
You'll awaken with a shake
To find that you are bleeding red
Run away for goodness sake
Oh! You'd better watch out
Get ready to cry
And scream, wail, and shout
I'm telling you why
Frankenstein is coming to town
