Ga-Da-Ra! (The Beast of Bray Road)

[Intro - Creepy Farfisa riff, pounding drums] Nineteen thirty-six! Jefferson, Wisconsin! Something's digging in the dark... [Verse 1 - Close, resonant contralto, clear lead vocal] Old night watchman making rounds Heard a scratching in the ground Shaggy shadow, hunched down low Three claw marks in the dirt below Flashlight caught those pointed ears Something stood up, then disappeared! Watchman said, "Well, I'll be damned!" Next night back, flashlight in hand! [Chorus - Driving garage-rock hook, vocal forward] Ga-da-ra! Ga-DA-ra! What the devil did it say? Ga-da-ra! Ga-DA-ra! Still a mystery today! [Verse 2 - Close, rhythmic storytelling vocal] Midnight came, he ventured back Flashlight held to fend attack Six feet tall with fangs and hair Smell of dead meat filled the air Three strange fingers, wolf-like face Eyes locked tight, no hiding place Opened up its wolfish jaw And said... [Break - Instruments cut out] GA-DA-RA! [Chorus - Full band slams back, vocal forward] Ga-da-ra! Ga-DA-ra! What the devil did it say? Ga-da-ra! Ga-DA-ra! Still a mystery today! [Bridge - Twangy guitar, spooky organ, clear storytelling vocal] Watchman prayed, the creature sneered Backed away and disappeared Years went by, the stories grew Down on Bray Road, sightings too [Final Chorus - Fast, punchy, vocal forward] Ga-da-ra! Ga-DA-ra! Hear it calling from afar! Ga-da-ra! Ga-DA-ra! What in Wisconsin ARE ya? [Outro - Abrupt stop, close dry vocal] Wolf or dog or something more? What's that scratching at your door? [Low guttural vocal, same female lead] Ga... da... ra!
