about

Entering the Autumn Series:

I was listening to a LOT of Mother Mother in the fall and they have a great song about a ghost. I was also in a composition class and we were doing compositions and I decided to write this piece for banjo! I love it and I hope you do too.

Don't feel too bad for the mummy. The mummy probably just steals a living human and cuddles them until they're also a mummy and I mean whatever floats your boat mummy. I hope you got consent first!

lyrics

Mum-me, mum-my, mum-me.

I am just a mummy.
I sleep within my tomb.
Dark and cold and dusty.
I sleep in all this gloom.
I look outside my sarcophagus
And what do I see?
The bats and the bees getting it on
But who is there for me, oh my! My:

Cold lonely heart isn't beating anymore.
Inside of its glass jar on the shelf I've been keeping in store
For anyone in the world who is bound themselves but not their soul
But who could love a mummy?
No one could love a mummy... Ah!

Mum-me, mum-my, mum-me.

Mum-why is it so hard to find some-mummy?
When you live and you die and you open your eyes as a couple:
You're in Heaven.
And the Jack-O-Lantern smiles on this Halloween night.
But I am just a mummy I have no mummy to delight in.

Oh my cold lonely heart isn't beating anymore.
Next to my other organs I keep neatly in a row for:
Anyone in this world who could keep my soul warm
But who could love a mummy?
No one could love a mummy... Ah!

Mum-me, mum-my, mum-me.

So I'll wait til I find you my some-mummy true.
I'll wait here forever if I could lay right next to you.
With our cold, lifeless bodies, and your bandaged hand near mine
I'll wait here forever
Sleep here together.
Looking far and wide.
I hope that you find my sarcopha..guy!

Mum-me, mum-my, mum-me.

Mum-me and mum-you.
That's what we'll do.
But who could love a mummy?
Maybe YOU could love a mummy?
Ah..
