Good guy Norman Bates
Seemed a very likable man
He had the place for weary folks
And cleaned the shower stall
His house upon a hilltop
Overlooked the family name
Glowing in the neon light
Think it dorove our boy insane

And it seems to me he lived as Mom
In the motel off the road
Never knowing who might drop in
On a rainy night
And he would have liked a girlfriend
But mom got in the way
The pretty guests all hit the lake
When momma had her say

Mom played kind of rough
The sickest role he ever played
A. Hitchcock created a super scare
The place could not keep a maid
Then the big star died
Oh, the cops still hounded Norm
All the papers had to say
Was that mommie dear was a crazy dude

Good guy Norman Bates
From the big fan at the 22nd show
Who sees it as something more than suspenseful
More than just a groovy horrorshow

And it seems to me he lived as Mom
In the motel off the road
Never knowing who might drop in
On a rainy night
And he would have liked a boyfriend
But mom got in the way
The pretty guests all hit the lake
When momma had her say
