Mixed by Corey Gorey.
Produced by The Brickbats.

This version of Scream Queen uses the original lyric and arrangement, written circa-1999. The first--*not* original (what?)--released version of Scream Queen was featured on the 2016 Brickbats album, "Return of the Living Brickbats."

lyrics

You're no Janet Leigh in the shower
You're no Jamie Lee in Halloween
But get ready to be devoured
We'll have to make due 'til we make your body blue

Lemme hear ya, scream queen
Lemme hear ya, scream queen
Lemme hear ya, scream queen
Lemme hear ya scream for me

Let me see horror, girl--you got it all wrong
Think of Fay Wray in the monumental grip of King Kong
Now let your hair fall back, widen those eyes
We'll have to make due 'til we take your life from you

Lemme hear ya, scream queen
Lemme hear ya, scream queen
Lemme hear ya, scream queen
Lemme hear ya scream for me

Lyrics by Corey Gorey. Music by The Brickbats.
