Story Behind The Song

I was playing with my daughter, morphing my hand into a spider as I sang the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" song with her. My hand spider walked across the kitchen counter, much to her delight and trepidation, then of course jumped on her belly and "that critter bit 'er!" as she got a tickling. Hmmmm... "Citter Bit 'Er"... I had to do something with that, and this is it! (I think all that time growing up with three a-bit-redneck brothers and their friends is showing itself here...)

Song Description

Halloween novelty song. This song is meant for a comedian, to be spoken with comedic inflection the whole way. Imagine Elvira meets Larry the Cable Guy...

Lyrics

OPENING/VERSE
I was walkin' with my girl
after garlic pizza night
when some swishy black thing
gave us both the biggest fright.
It swooped down like a bat,
and wrapped around her neck!
I was breathin' really hard
as I shouted "You just get!"
It flew into the night,
my girl looked pale and sick...
(She should'a had the pizza
stead'a nibblin' on breadsticks...)
Now the shrink don't even get 'er
and it's like her life don't fit 'er
ever since that frightful night that...

CHORUS
Some critter bit 'er...
Some critter bit 'er...
Yea, she's actin' kind'a wierd,
drinkin' Mary's stead'a beer.
Some critter bit 'er...

VERSE
She's paler every night,
her eyes are red and that ain't right.
I try to take her out to tan
but she says to understand...

CHORUS
Some critter bit 'er...
Some critter bit 'er...
Yeah, she's actin' kinda strange,
kinda cuddly for a change...
Some critter bit 'er...

VERSE
Yep, she nibbled on my neck
'til I shouted "What the heck?!"
Now I don't mean to harp
but those teeth are kinda sharp
since...

CHORUS
Some critter bit 'er...
Some critter bit 'er...
Don't mean to give her flack
but she's dressin' all in black
and it's really kinda goofy how my pizza makes her loopy
and it's really quite abnormal how she's crashin' geeky formals
how she used to call me stud, now she's goin' for bluebloods
and what's really really strange is she's gone and changed her name
now she's "Mistress of the Night"...
PAUSE
Now THAT might be alright..."

Guess when people scream in fright "She's a creature of the night!"
I'll just have to smile and say "Naw, that's just my ?FIANCE! And...

Some critter bit 'er...
Some critter bit 'er...
Some critter bit 'er...

AH-OOOOOO! (howl)

Yeah, gotsta go, go see my "MISTRESS of the night"...

HUMMING (Some critter bit 'er, some critter bit 'er...)

SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT!
