lyrics

Fay Wray

Quickly twists off the ring,
Of a blue-haired Parisian.
Plasters up the holes,
Applies the fake tan.

I watch in morbid awe,
With extension of my jaw.
Mortician takes a break,
Reads Pygmalion by Shaw.

It’s the soon to be death of Fay Wray,
Soon to be death of Fay Wray.

It’s just what he does,
Makes a corpse look pretty nice.
Paints fingernails and teeth,
Soon hors d’oeuvres for mice.

Tell me what is wrong,
Faces torn and long.
This is the best she’s looked,
Since she starred with Kong.

It’s the soon to be death of Fay Wray,
Soon to be death of Fay Wray.

Watched King Kong the other night,
On a channel up the dial.
Soft focus face,
Most beautiful I’ve seen in a while.

And I witnessed the famous scream,
Of 1933.
Got the best of her,
And it got the rest of me.

It’s the soon to be death of Fay Wray,
Soon to be death of Fay Wray.
