1. She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,

                                                 C

    and we'd begged her not to go,

                                             F

    but she'd forgot her medication,

    at the scene of the attack,

    and a blue and silver candle,

                      G                                                               C

    that would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.



Am                                                Em

    I've warned all my friends and neighbors,

G                                           C

    "Better watch out for yourselves."
