Mr. Dead Guy

To the tune of Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra

[Radio announcer] Warning! Be on the lookout for zombies

I'm in this bunker, still alive
Paralyzed with fright
Have they stopped maimin'
Did their bodies rot away
How do we know
They won't come after us again, I pray

Done in if we misconstrue
The lack of screaming nightly
Search the city for the fiends
Form a committee
Mister dead guy might be lurking near his grave

Mister dead guy, we're searching high
And low to find a way
To survive—hopin' you're dead and gone

Mister dead guy, we're searching high
And low to find a way
To survive—hopin' you're dead and gone

They've gone without a single trace
To their final resting place
The devastation mister dead guy's
Caused is over, come on out
Resume your lives before the war

Mister dead guy, we're searching high
And low to find a way
To survive—hopin' you're dead and gone

Hey there, undead dudes
We hope that we're rid of you
And the way you bite and chew
Everybody's scared of you

Hey there, undead dudes
We hope that we're rid of you
And the way you bite and chew
Everybody's scared of you

Mister dead guy
Mister dead guy
Mister dead guy

Mister dead gave me a bite
He was hidden, came out tonight
Creepin' over, now our
Cities all a-smolder
Ate my mind and then shambled on his—and then shambled on his way

Mister dead guy, we're searching high
And low to find a way
To survive—hopin' you're dead and gone

Hey there, undead dudes
We hope that we're rid of you
And the way you bite and chew
Everybody's scared of you

Fact: Jeff Lynne co-wrote "Zombie Zoo" with Tom Petty…coincidence? I think not!
