The Lyrics

Every time I have heard this song on Sirius XM's Yacht Rock station, I have always thought of making this into a parody and I finally got around to it. Seems like a perfect song to make into a Zombie song.
Whenever dark has fallen
You know the undead and the zombies start to come alive
Until the day is dawning
If you choose to go outside, then you might lose your life

Cause there's mayhem in the air and lots of Zombies everywhere
So, gimme the knife (Take life, tonight)
Just gimme the knife (yeah yeah yeah)

You'll need a battle ax, son
You'll need a crossbow and a sabre and a baseball bat
You'll need some brain protection
Cause if they get ahold of that, then you'll become undead

Because there's murder in the air and lots of Zombies everywhere
So, gimme the knife (yeah yeah yeah)
Just gimme the knife (Take life, tonight)

So, don't go out tonight, cause there could be sluggers
Who would gladly take your life
If you survive the night
Then we can take cover, cause I think I have a
Zombie disguise
We can slowly creep by

And then give 'em the knife
(and take their life)
Just give em' a slice
(We'll slice and dice)

solo section

Cause there's murder in the air and lots of Zombies everywhere
So gimme me the knife (yeah yeah yeah)
Just gimme the knife (We'll slice and dice)

So, don't go out tonight, cause there could be sluggers
Who would gladly take your life
If you survive the night
Then we can take cover, cause I think I have a
Zombie disguise
We can slowly creep by

And if we slay together
When the living dead arrive, they'll have a big surprise
If we remain unweathered
We'll be carving zombie meat until the morning light

Cause there's murder in the air and lots of Zombies everywhere
So gimme the knife (We'll take, your life)
Gimme the knife (We'll slice and dice)
Gimme the knife (We'll take, your life)
Just gimme the knife (We'll slice and dice)
So gimme the knife (We'll take, your life)
Just gimme the knife (We'll slice and dice)
Gimme the knife (We'll take, your life)
Just gimme the knife (We'll slice and dice)

Cause there's murder in the air and lots of Zombies everywhere
So gimme the knife (We'll take, your life)
Just gimme the knife (We'll slice and dice)
Gimme the knife (We'll take, your life)
Just gimme the knife (We'll slice and dice)

Cause there's murder in the air and lots of Zombies everywhere
So gimme the knife (We'll take, your life)
(We'll slice and dice)
(We'll take, your life)
(We'll slice and dice)
(We'll take, your life)
(We'll slice and dice)
(We'll take, your life)
(We'll slice and dice)
I recorded this one tonight as well. It will be uploaded soon.

I have that same reaction; this song is so great I must do a parody of it, and then I somehow own the song. I'll probably do a parody on this one. This is a great song
