Bin There, Dun That
Words and music 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 guess I'm gonna answer when a stranger calls no more.
Chorus (after every verse):
'Cause I bin there, dun that, learned what I should know,
Got the footprints on my tee-shirt, got the bruises I can show.
Yes, I bin there, dun 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 watching with a grin;
I'm not dumb, I'm not expendable and I'm not going in!
Now 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 them when their hands are full of flame.
Now those old Egyptian curses, sure they've 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.
