Abercrombie Had A Zombie Lyrics - Thomas

Abercrombie was so meek and quiet; 

Abercrombie was the tearoom type. 

Oh, you'd never think he'd start a riot; 

then Abercrombie had a zombie. 

Abercrombie never stole a hansom (1). 

Abercrombie never did a bump.(5) 

Never thought of crawling through a transom; 

then Abercrombie had a zombie. 

He never passed a stop. He never sassed a cop. 

He never drove a car into the Astor bar (2). 

He didn't try to wade in the Aquacade (3); 

He was just an icky (4), I'm afraid.

But like that other famous sinner, 

Abercrombie met his Waterloo. 

He's the man who never came to dinner; 

because Abercrombie had a zombie—or was it two? 

[Instrumental Bridge] 

He never passed a stop; he never sassed a cop. 

He never drove a car into the Astor bar. 

He never tried to wade in the Aquacade; 

Just an icky, I'm afraid. 

But like that other famous sinner, 

Abercrombie met his Waterloo. 

He's the man who didn't come to dinner; 

'cuz Abercrombie had a zombie—or was it two—or was it three or four—or five—or six?
