Guides:The Zombie Lexicon/Zombie Song Lyrics

Introduction

The only thing zombies love more than a good gang-bang is a good sing-a-long, even when advanced stage labial decay has rendered enunication well-nigh impossible. The next time you encounter a large shambling horde, try engaging it in one of the following classic melodies. The more daring survivor might also try leading the horde in dance. For an encore, throw in a headshot or two.

Pop Hits

Carving a Hole - the ZomBeatles

to the tune of "Fixing a Hole" by the Beatles - no Zombish translation yet

I'm carving a hole /

where the 'cades are thin /

and when the last piece falls away /

in the Zeds go-o-o-o-o....

_

Bar har har har har....

_

I'm watching the count /

of my Hit Points go down /

from the infection that's inside of me /

Soon I will go-o-o-o-o....

_

Bar har har har har....

_

And the dead are gathering /

in a big mob now /

and pretty soon somehow /

they'll overcome.

_

See the people, running 'round /

Rebuilding 'cades that we tear down /

They can't accept that we've already won.

_

The harmanz all sleep /

while the dead creep in /

when they awaken they'll be part of us /

See the blood flow-ow-ow-ow....

_

Bar har har har har....

_

I'm carving a hole where the 'cades are thin /

and when the last piece falls away /

in the Zeds go-o-o-o-o....

_

In the Zeds go-o-o-o-o...

Barbara Ann - The Beach Boys

It seems that some zombies have an appreciation of the Beach Boys song Barbara Ann, as survivors have heard this phrase several times recently.

Bah bah bah, bah Barbrah Ahn!

Abracadabra - The Steve Miller Band

Ah raab zha brahnz ahn zarh hagh, (I love the brains in your head)

Ah ganna barg abgrah gangbang, (I'm gonna eat them when you're dead)

Az rahnah zarh ranz ahn hahg ahahz, (Now as you run and hide away)

Zarh harh mah zambah az hah zahz: (You hear my zombie as he says:)

Abra-abra-gababra, (Abra-abra-cadabra)

Ah ganna rahg arg ahn grab zarh! (I'm gonna reach out and grab ya!)

Abra-abra-gababra, (Abra-abra-cadabra)

Ah ganna rahg arg ahn grab zarh! (I'm gonna reach out and grab ya!)

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Many zombies profess a love for the Swedish Pop Group ABBA. This song has been heard on at least one occasion, although only the chorus was sung.

Gammah Gammah Gammah man-hamz abbar mannagh... (Gimme gimme gimme man-hams after 12:00...)

Gan zamran hab mah zgar zah zahn arah? (Can someone help me scare the sun away?)

Gammah Gammah Gammah man-hamz abbar mannagh... (Gimme gimme gimme man-hams after 12:00...)

Brang mah bram zah zahn ahngah zah naagh. (Bring me from the sun into the night.)

La Bamba

Some zombies know that in order to dance the Bamba you need a little bit of grace.

Bara bahrar ga bamba (para bailar la bamba)

Za nagazghpa ana baga ba grazza (Se necesita una poca de gracia)

Ana baga ba grazza bara ma bara zgh (Una poca de gracia para mí para ti)

Z’arraba Z’arraba, Z’arraba Z’arraba bar zgh zara (y Arriba y arriba, y arriba y arriba por ti seré)

Bar zgh zara, Bar zgh zara (Por ti seré, Por ti seré)

Gah nah zah maranara, Gah nah zah maranara (Yo no soy marinero, Yo no soy marinero)

Zah gababan, Zah gababan (Soy capitan, Soy capitan)

Bamba bamba (Bamba bamba)

Ba…… (Ba...)

Bara bahrar ga bamba (Para bailar la bamba)
