lyrics

(--An (irreverent?) homage to Edgar Allan Poe using selected passages from his famous poem.)

Voice of Vincent Price: Once upon a midnight dreary -

ONCE UPON A MIDNIGHT DREARY

Price: While I pondered, weak and weary -

WHILE I PONDERED WEAK AND WEARY

Price: Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore -

OVER MANY A QUAINT AND CURIOUS VOLUME
OF FORGOTTEN LORE

Price: While I nodded nearly napping

WHILE I NODDED NEARLY NAPPING

Price: Suddenly there came a tapping -

SUDDENLY THERE CAME A TAPPING

Price: As of someone gently rapping -

AS OF SOMEONE GENTLY RAPPING
RAPPING AT MY CHAMBER DOOR

Price: 'Tis some visitor I muttered -

'TIS SOME VISITOR I MUTTERED
TAPPING AT MY CHAMBER DOOR

Price: Only this and nothing more -

ONLY THIS AND NOTHING MORE

Price: Ah, distinctly I remember -

AH, DISTINCTLY I REMEMBER
IT WAS IN THE BLEAK DECEMBER
AND EACH SEPARATE DYING EMBER
WROUGHT ITS GHOST UPON THE FLOOR

EAGERLY I WISHED THE MORROW
VAINLY I HAD SOUGHT TO BORROW
FROM MY BOOKS SURCEASE OF SORROW
SORROW FOR THE LOST LENORE
FOR THE RARE AND RADIANT MAIDEN
WHOM THE ANGELS NAMED LENORE
NAMELESS HERE FOR EVERMORE

OPEN HERE I FLUNG THE SHUTTER
WHEN WITH MANY A FLIRT AND FLUTTER
IN THERE STEPPED A STATELY RAVEN
OF THE SAINTLY DAYS OF YORE
NOT THE LEAST OBEISANCE MADE HE
NOT A MINUTE STOPPED OR STAYED HE
BUT WITH MIEN OF LORD OR LADY
PERCHED ABOVE MY CHAMBER DOOR
PERCHED UPON A BUST OF PALLUS
JUST ABOVE MY CHAMBER DOOR
PERCHED AND SAT AND NOTHING MORE

GHASTLY GRIM AND ANCIENT RAVEN
WANDERING FROM THE NIGHTLY SHORE
TELL ME WHAT THY LORDLY NAME IS
ON THE NIGHT'S PLUTONIAN SHORE
QUOTH THE RAVEN “NEVERMORE”

THEN METHOUGHT THE AIR GREW DENSER
PERFUMED FROM AN UNSEEN CENSER
SWUNG BY SERAPHIM WHOSE FOOT-FALLS
TINKLED ON THE TUFTED FLOOR

TELL THIS SOUL WITH SORROW LADEN
IF WITHIN THE DISTANT AIDENN
IT SHALL CLASP A SAINTED MAIDEN
WHOM THE ANGELS NAME LENORE
CLASP A RARE AND RADIANT MAIDEN
WHOM THE ANGELS NAME LENORE
QUOTH THE RAVEN “NEVERMORE”
QUOTH THE RAVEN “NEVERMORE”
“NEVERMORE”
“NEVERMORE”
“NEVERMORE”
“NEVERMORE”

Price: Nevermore!

(cawing of the raven as it flies away)
