[Surf Interlude | eight bars; tremolo lead answers the vocal contour; bass counterline rises; donk remains low] [Verse 2 | sharper bark on impacts; short drum stops underline WHACK and floor] I hope that you don't mind Me sneakin' up on you— (From behind!) Just stand still one moment more! With a swing and a WHACK! With my axe I attack, Go in for the kill— Body hits the floor! OoOooh! What a thrill! So much blood and gore, As I detach your...HEAD! You won't be needin' it no more— (Because you're DEAD!) Now it can go where it's belonged all along: ON MY SHELF! Next to the others...
