Dead Man's Party Lyrics

Artist: Oingo Boingo
Album: Dead Man's Party

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

CHORUS
I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
(Don't run away it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . .

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

CHORUS

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .

This a song that can always get a party jumpin' and everybody loves it. Try to listen to it and not sing along.

Best 80's Song period Not to mention Danny Elfman is one of the best song writers ever.

This is pretty much one of the best songs of all time. Oingo Boingo was awesome and Danny Elfman is a genius I think.

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. WHEN I WAS JUST A LITTLE KID I NEVER HEARD THE SONG BEFORE AND THEN WHEN I HEARD ON YOUTUBE I STARTED TO LIKE I WOULD SING TO MYSELF AND SING IT TO MY FAMILY. I LIKE THE SONG NOW.

THANKS OINGO BOINGO :)

One of the best ever song I've ever listened and now become my favourite.

I found out that this song was written in my dad's (RIP 1988) limo the day I got married. He used to drive for Danny Elfman.

right up there with werewolves of london, thriller, ghost busters, welcome to my nightmare and monster mash as best halloweeen songs of all time.
danny elfman is definite a musical genius
