I didn't want to parody Steve's fine song; I just wanted to add a verse for "Mars Attacks!" But that one verse fragment staged an invasion and took over--just like the Martians!
G Em
The Martians have come to the Congress
C D
The ambassador strides down the aisle
G Em
He taps the mike, he makes a speech
C D
Then whips a blaster out and fires!
F C G7
WE COME IN PEACE--SHOOT TO KILL!

I just love Tim Burton movies
C D
They're classics of the cinema art
G Em
The critics say they're so inane
C D
They love to tear them apart
G Em
Those mundanes can't grok Burton's unearthly plots
C D
A pumpkin can be Santa Claus
C G
I just love Tim Burton movies
A young man's at work in the garden
His scissorhands; they flash and swing
A sweet young girl watches him trimming
She twirls around, begins to sing
(ttto: "Edward" by Kathy Mar)
G A7sus4 Am
Edward, I am dancing in your snow
D Em
Even though you cannot see me tonight
Ed Wood stands on the shoreline
Wears angora and high heels
Lugosi struggles with a prop
The cameraman spins reels and reels
ACTION! CUT! THAT'S A WRAP!
I just love Tim Burton movies
They're classics of the cinema art
The critics say they're so inane
They love to tear them apart
Those mundanes can't grok Burton's unearthly plots
(ttto: "Vincent" by Don MacLean)
G Am
See the movie star towering with evil vice
C
Spooky voice exacts a price
I just love Tim Burton movies
Bruce Wayne steps in the apartment
Vicki Vale sweeps in from the rear
Bruce says, "I have something to tell you"
Vicki asks "What's that, my dear?"
I'M BATMAN! I GOTTA GO TO WORK!
I just love Tim Burton movies
There's so many ways they amuse
See Beetlejuice flirt with Winona Ryder
Or see Pee-Wee Herman abused
Watch Nicholson, Depp, and Keaton
And Tom Jones, to name a few
As Batman fights off the Penguin (waak! waak! waak!)
And Catwoman too (mrrrrrow!)
I just love Tim Burton movies
