Lyrics Beetlejuice Original Broadway Cast – The Whole «Being Dead» Thing Pt. 2
Text:
BETELGEUSE, spoken:
Ready? Okay!
BETELGEUSE, sung:
Hi! I’ll be your guide
Don’t go to the Netherworld-
ADAM, spoken:
Netherworld?
BETELGEUSE:
Did I say Netherworld? Never mind
I’m the B-to-the-double-E-J-F-U
And Jesus, I can’t spell
MINIONS:
Hi! He’ll be your guide
He’ll be your G-U-I-D-E to the other side
BETELGEUSE:
Let’s all get naked!
ADAM & BARBARA:
No!
BETELGEUSE:
Eh, worth a try
I’m B-to-the-double-E-T-L-E to the J-U-I-C-E
Yeah!
BARBARA, spoken:
What is happening?
BETELGEUSE, spoken:
I understand that it’s a lot to process
BETELGEUSE, sung:
But the good news is you and your spouse
Died in your own house
That means the two of you should stick around
Lucky for you I dropped by
Yeah, you seem like nice guys
A little on the Pottery Barn and dry white wine side
As for me, I’ve been scaring for millennia
I’m the bio-exorcist
Giving houses enemas
Flush out all the breathers
You can breathe easier
Just stick with me
I’m like a ghost-zombie Jesus
MINIONS:
Ghost-zombie Jesus!
BETELGEUSE:
And I do it for the love of it
Money? Ah, who gives a shit?
I think we’re a perfect fit
Come on, let’s make out a bit
MINIONS:
Yeah!
Dead!
BETELGEUSE:
It’s the perfect day to die
‘Cause this guy happened to be passing by
To give you control of your soul
For the whole being dead thing
The whole being dead thing!
Oh yeah!
