When you're just trying to do your job but your job is necromancy and the skeletons have a bone to pick with you

Summary:

You know when your coworkers have those little quirks that just make you grind your teeth? How they manage to hit all your pet peeves and slowly drive you into the grave, but it's not like they're doing anything wrong, so there's nothing you can really do but grin and bear it? Bad enough when it happens in a normal office job--when you're a necromancer, sometimes you just have to embrace the madness and sing your heart out loud enough to raise the dead. Again.

Notes:

Original Song: Won't Say I'm in Love (from the Disney film Hercules)
Backing: Sing King

Listen on Google Drive

 

Each day I long for something different,

Each day their new depths amaze me

I don’t deserve this kind of torment

These goddamn skeletons drive me crazy

 

You don't like our rib-bing?

You've got to be kidney-ing me

We’ve got punning femur

It’s the backbone of our humor

Just lend us your ear now

‘Cause we’ve got the skull to

Make you bust a gut

 

What’s with you guys and these numerous puns?

Deep down you love all our humerus puns

You hear these sighs? I’m so done with your puns

 

Got two degrees in microbio

Worked in a lab curing cancer

I could have been a neurosurgeon

Instead I’m stuck as a necromancer

 

Why you tryin’ to fight it?

We just want to give you a hand

If you let us try it

We can hit your funny bone and

If you’re feeling shafted

Then we’ll just patella joke or two to make you smile

 

I’ve lost my mind foramen-tion of puns

Hey hey, that’s great, won’t you talus more puns?

Dis-pelvis terrible sequence of puns

You see puns are hip, our adventure’s begun

You need a sternum correction

You lunate-ics need direction

No need tibia curmudgeon, come on

But in the end, I guess puns can be fun
