“Dead Dad”- a Hamlet song parody to the tune of Dead Mom
(Ok- so this is barely a parody. It’s basically just the original song but with “mom” changed to “dad”.
Changes will be bolder so you can easily find them.
Original song (Dead Mom from Beetlejuice) linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEct4Nod2iU )
Hey dad, dead dad
I need a little help here
I’m prob'ly talking to myself here
But dead dad, I gotta ask
Are you really in the ground?
‘Cause I hear you all around me
Are you here, dead dad?
Dead dad
Dead dad,
I’m tired of trying to iron out my creases
I’m a bunch of broken pieces
It was you who made me whole
Every day they’re staring at me
Like all, “Hurry up, get happy
Move along
Forget about your dad”
'Cause mother’s in denial
Mother doesn’t wanna feel
She wants me to smile
And clap like a performing seal
Was faking for a while
But I might lose my mind for real
You won’t believe the mess that we’ve become
You’re my home
My destination
And I’m your clone
Your strange creation
You held my hand
And life came easy
Now jokes don’t land
And no one sees me
Nothing seems to fit
Father is this it?
Are you receiving?
I want something to believe in or I’ll go mad
They’ll soon ship me to England
or I’ll be here in Denmark
Call when vengeance can be had!
Mother’s moving forward
Mother didn’t lose a dad
Father won’t you send a sign?
I’m running out of hope and time
My two friends spied, My girlfriend died
Hope’s nowhere to be had
No more playing Uncle’s game
I’ll go insane if things don’t change
Whatever it takes ‘til vengeance can be claimed
Dead dad!
