Quotes / The Addams Family

Duh nuh nuh nuh *snap snap*
Duh nuh nuh nuh *snap snap*
Duh nuh nuh nuh, duh nuh nuh nuh, duh nuh nuh nuh *snap snap*

They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're altogether ooky
The Addams Family!
Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scree-um
The Addams Family!

² (Duh nuh nuh nuh *snap snap*) "Sweet."
³ (Duh nuh nuh nuh, duh nuh nuh nuh, duh nuh nuh nuh *snap snap*) "Petite."
So get a witch's shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Ad-dams Fam-i-ly!
