originally performed with The Mercury-Mars Unit 2011
lyrics
getting ready for the show, the girls sit down in a row
in front of mirrors, their beauty so rare
excited hopeful, so glad to be there
they do their hair, they do their nails
applying make up, they look a little pale
an arm falls off but that's ok, this kind of thing happens everyday
all the zombie beauty queens, decaying limbs and bursting seams
up on stage with their big hearts, stumbling over body parts
bright green skin and yellow eyes, mouth sewn up can't tell no lies
all dolled up these dug up dames, get the crown they'll eat your brains
onto the catwalk they shamble out, the audience begins to shout
wolfman, dracula, frankenstein! to all these girls they were really kind
the talent portion was really neat, the other girls were really sweet
the pageant ends they crown the winner, a celebration, brains for dinner
it doesn't matter how decayed you are, everyone can be a star
beauty is deeper than just on the skin and real beauty is found within
so if you need a lift up from the ground, these beauty queens can always be found
so smile big and dry your tears, the zombie beauty queens are here
