Bin There, Dun That
Lyrics and Melody ©1993 by Catherine Faber
Someone called me from the darkness, and
I answered quick and dumb
And I reckon I'd be Vampire-chow if rescue hadn't come.
Well I hit the carpet running, and I didn't shut the
door---
I don't think I'm gonna answer when a stranger calls no
more.
'Cause I been there, done
that, learned what I should know,
Got the footprints on my T-shirt, got the bruises I can
show.
Yes I been there, done that, learned to recognize
When it's time to call for backup by the frenzy in their
eyes.
I got called up on a werewolf, when the
moon was full and fair
And I picked him up on Seventh Street, and tracked him to
his lair,
Now he's backed into the darkness and he's watchin' with a
grin.
I'm not dumb, I'm not expendable, and I'm not goin'
in.
Wizards can be touchy and they don't have
many fans.
They're tight-lipped about their secrets and they're stingy
with their plans.
But if you wind up all scorched, you only have yourself to
blame.
I don't recommend you push 'em when their hands are full of
flame.
Now those old Egyptian curses, sure they
got no sense of style
When you tangle with a mummy, you're tied up for quite a
while
It's as strong as a gorilla, and as stubborn as a mule
If you find another mummy, you can find another fool.
