girl was hiding out
a heartless man ran in and cut her up
she shivered and she gasped
then slipped away
they caught the loony clerk

ghoulish fellow was employed
a shiftless dude who'd lost his mind
obsessing on the guests, he'd see

absolutely raving...oh

dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd

as this gal checked in that night
he glanced, perversely, with his squinty eyes
he gave her cabin one
they caught the loony clerk

took a gander at her snow-white skin
it caused a paradox
his mother's wiles decreed he'd slay this dame
they caught the loony clerk

absolutely raving...oh

dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd

sound of shower, none of life
he slings her in her auto's rear
his mother thrived, decisively

limp and deadly quiet, snuffed
she lies supinely in a silty swamp
and soon the search was on
they caught the loony clerk

absolutely raving...oh

dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd
dressing as a dame's absurd

absolutely raving
absolutely raving
absolutely raving
absolutely raving
