So Edgar tries all the experiments he's read
Annabel's formula for bringing back the dead
The experiments, of course, proved a success
And thus, a crazy notion comes into his head
One day, you will see that I can be someone you never thought I'd be
One day, you will see that I can be someone you never thought I'd be
ย
My friends, step right up, I have brought you a thing
Why, it's a miracle process that you will never believe
Your grandma, your parents, your child, I say, who
Yes, whoever you've lost, I can bring back to you
You doubt me, of course, think I'm out of my head
But this week, I'll choose five folks and bring back their dead
And I'll put them in quality mechanical dolls
Life-sized, yes, for free, and you'll see it's not talk
ย
My friends, can you hear me? The crowd's grown so big
And these orders, why, I tell you I barely know how to keep
Up with, so I must tell you, I'm building a store
Where your dead ones can be brought back to you folks once more
With all this success, I can offer new deals
Their bodies now come in different colors and feels
Like mahogany, lilac, and deep oaken red
Seven models to choose from to fit your dear dead
ย
Gentlemen, welcome, will the board please sit down?
Our profits this quarter are almost beyond count
We're opening new factories, starting new ads
We're making our fortune, so I've one thing to ask
There's a man they call Sillof, and he once stole my girl
I want him destroyed, all he has in this world
His business, his home, and his carriage all crushed
I want him left penniless, facedown in the dust
ย
All your intentions take their toll
All you hate enthralls your soul
When you win, you sometimes lose
And all you love does not love you
All your intentions take their toll
All you hate enthralls your soul
When you win, you sometimes lose
And all you love does not love you
Fay, good to see you, I asked you here so you could listen
To what I want to offer to you
That man who you left me for, you know he's in ruins
A broken down wreck, but Fay, my fortune booms
And I have a surprise, your dear long dead dad
I have taken the liberty of bringin' him back
He sits now in my parlor, but Fay the only way
You can see him or talk to him is to come back and stay
