Lyrics
(Good morning!)
(Good morning!)
Ugh, it's not raining again, stupid sun
Why does everything around here have to be so bright and happy?
At this rate I'll never be heartbreakingly tormented
Like my idols Edgar Allan Poe, Vincent Price, and the editors of Gothic Goat Magazine!
No! Anyone can be miserable, I just need to look on the dark side of life
What an awful day
What an awful day to be alive
What an awful way
What an awful way to survive the torment and despair
To know nobody cares
To know nobody knows I'm there
All alone in bed
All alone to ponder, I'm alone
Laying on head
Laying on my cursed throne
I'm sealed inside my tomb
Too far to exhume from the door all the way across the room
Drop the gloom!
Guys!
Ah, shut up
This door ain't that far!
I use it all the time
Don't let this dump be your graveyard
Or I'll squirt you with my slime!
Such bland and whiny gab you spout
You should give it a rest
Just bite your tongue and come on out
Stop acting fake depressed! (boo-hoo)
If you were actually sad (boo-hoo)
We'd let you rest in your pad (boo-hoo-hoo)
But why fake feelin' bad?
Womp-womp-womp! (boo-hoo)
'Cause if you push us away (boo-hoo)
And act like you don't wanna play (boo-hoo-hoo)
We might give up one day!
So come on, what do you say?
I mean, I could come out, but-
No, my disgusting misery will ruin your fun
We're all disgusting, Baba!
That's what being a Nightmare Critter's all about!
That and messing with those fuzzy-wuzzy Smiling Critters
You should join us or something
I don't deserve to
Welp, you heard her creepy crew
Have fun, I'mma chill here
Oh no you don't! Get out of my room and let me ruminate!
Ugh, stupid caring friends trying to make me feel better
Think, Baba, how can I feel worse?
Wait, I've got it!
What an awful pain
What an awful pain I'm sure to feel
Deep inside my vein
Deep inside my vein, cold steel will make a mighty hole
Out of my control
Piercing through my very soul
The needle tears my skin
Once a year when I get my flu shot
Let the pain begin
Let the pain work in, remind me of my darkest thoughts
Of the hurt I've got
'Tis my fate to sit and bleed and rot
No it's not!
Come on!
You're trying too hard to feel sad
I can hear your desperate pleas
A little prick is not that bad
Yeah, that's what folks call me!
Don't make me drag you by the wrist
Grow up and leave your nest
I'm missing second lunch for this
Stop acting fake depressed! (boo-hoo)
If you were actually harmed (boo-hoo)
By a bite on the arm (boo-hoo-hoo)
I would sound the alarms!
Womp-womp-womp! (boo-hoo)
But if you chase the appeal (boo-hoo)
Of a pain you don't feel (boo-hoo-hoo)
You might get hurt for real!
So skip the sad-sack spiel
But I always get the shot, and it always hurts for two whole seconds!
How could anyone cope with guaranteed future pain?
Why don't you just eat your feelings?
Or blame someone else?
Or distract yourself with juicy gossip?
Because I'm so sad I can't even remember how to smile!
Really?
Yeah?
Welp, nothin' we can do about that
Later, Baba
But what if?
Finally, some peace and quiet
I know right?
Get out!
Ah! The burning light, it stings!
This creature of the night can't handle sunny things
That glimmer blinding bright
But it looks kinda nice, there's lots of space to play
Maybe I'll roll the dice, and go outside today
Hey, Baba, I-
I solved your problem!
This way, fuzzy-wuzzies
You didn't
Hiya, Baba!
A little bird told me you needed some help smiling
So all of us came running!
Well, almost all of us
CatNap's at a doctor's appointment
He must've forgot his apple a day!
Don't worry, seven smiling critters is still enough to sing the smiling song!
You didn't!
It's showtime, critter crew!
Just smile (no!)
It's super cool!
Just smile (stop it!)
'Cause caring rules!
Just smile (this stupid crap doesn't mean anything!)
Hop up with glee!
Just smile
Just smile like me! (it's just noise for babies!)
Just smile
Joy is an art!
Just smile (cut it out)
It's really smart!
Just smile (cut it out!)
Eat happily!
Just smile (cut it out!)
Just-
What? Did you just?
That's- That's red!
Someone get me a bandage stat!
It's gonna be okay, DogDay, we'll go home and patch you up
Hey, Baba? Sorry I couldn't make you smile
I slashed a Smiling Critter! Hahaha!
Take that, you doe-eyed doofuses!
Great thinking, Simon, that really made... my day?
You split him open!
I better spread the word
What's wrong? We're the Nightmare Critters, remember?
We do nasty stuff like this all the time
Nightmare Critters don't actually hurt people
We just put boogers in their hair!
Or steal garbage!
Or eat 40 cakes!
You're... dangerous
C'mon guys, it's just a little paper cut
That guy had it comin', and I feel way better now!
Don't you wanna go outside?
It's fine
It's fine!
I'll stay in bed
I'm better off this way
I crossed the line, I lost my head
Now I don't have to play
I'm sad for real
That's how it feels?
I never would have guessed
I hope this kind of hurt can heal
I'm done acting fake depressed
