Trio Case Closed by Original Cast of Zombie Prom Lyrics

[EDDIE]
Okay, zombie boy! Time to face the press!

[MISS STRICT]
And another thing, Mr. Warner...

[EDDIE]
Delilah Strict?

[MISS STRICT]
Eddie Flagrante!?

[EDDIE & MISS STRICT]
It's been a very long time...!

[JOSH]
You two know each other?

[MISS STRICT]
Get to class! All of you!
[EDDIE]
It's been many years, Delilah
Always knew we'd meet again
Never knew exactly where
And not a clue as to the when

[MISS STRICT]
After all you put me through
The tragic scene that came to play
After all that happened then...

[EDDIE]
What?

[MISS STRICT]
Well, I...
I don't have time for this today!

[EDDIE]
So I see
What's the scoop?
There's no limit to the depths to which I'll stoop!

[MISS STRICT]
What we have here is an issue
With a controversial bent
If I break once with tradition
I'll have set a precedent
If we let him come to roost here
Then this zombie clique will thrive
And he wasn't all that special
Even when he was alive!
Case is closed
Shut air-tight
It's all there, as plain as day, in black and white!
[EDDIE]
Well, I hate to disagree, love
But this stinks to holy heights
You're denying him his due
This is a case of civil rights!
He belongs!

[MISS STRICT]
Don't be dense!

[EDDIE]
God, you're gorgeous when you're tense...

[JONNY]
May I speak in my defense... ?

Here's my situation, ma'am
I'm talking honest pool
I just want an education, ma'am
I want to go to school
Looks can be deceiving, ma'am
Well, what with all I did
Beneath all the trauma
I'm still just a kid

[EDDIE]
Beneath all the trauma
He's still just a kid!
[JONNY]
One more point concerning
How my character's in doubt:
I'm planning on returning
While the norm is dropping out
I have no hope of leaving, ma'am
I thought you understood
Beneath all the gangrene
I'm basically good

[EDDIE]
Beneath all the gangrene
He's basically good!

[MISS STRICT]
Rule number seven
Subsection nine
Of the handbook of student life says:
No zombies!
No zombies!
Get that through your head
No monsters!
No mutants!
No satanic walking dead!

[EDDIE]
Deli --

[MISS STRICT]
Hey!

[EDDIE]
"Miss Strict," I mean
Let's be honest here
Put our cards out on the table
Let us persevere!

[JONNY]
I want to come back!

[MISS STRICT]
And I won't let you!

[EDDIE]
Well, that's clear
What we have here is a candidate
For hero of the day
He could eas'ly be the cover-boy
For next week's exposé

But beyond the fame and glory
There's a point here to be made
Equal rights for the undead
Could be a national crusade!

I'm the match
He's the fuse
Put together, we could make the network news!

[MISS STRICT]
Heaven knows how first he got here
But he's leaving through that door!
If this freak wants his diploma
That's what Catholic schools are for

[JONNY]
All I want
Is a break
After all, I've got my afterlife at stake...

[JONNY, EDDIE, & MISS STRICT]
Here's my situation, ma'am, I'm talking honest pool
(No zombies, no zombies!)
(What we have here is a candidate)
I just want an education, ma'am, I wanna go to school
(Get that through your head)
(For hero of the day)
Looks can be deceiving, ma'am, well, what with all I did
(No monsters, no mutants)
(He could eas'ly be the cover-boy)
Beneath all the trauma, I'm still just a kid
(No satanic walking dead!)
(For next week's exposé)
One more point concerning how my character's in doubt;
(No zombies, no zombies!)
(But beyond the fame and glory)
I'm planning on returning while the norm is dropping out
(Get that through your head)
(There's a point here to be made)
I have no hope of leaving, ma'am, I thought you understood
(No monsters, no mutants)
(Equal rights for the undead)
Beneath all the gangrene, I'm basically good!
(No satanic walking dead!)
(Could be a national crusade!)

[JONNY, EDDIE, & MISS STRICT]
Heaven only knows where this will
Lead to when exposed --

[EDDIE]
Top story!

[JONNY]
My future!

[MISS STRICT]
No zombies!

[JONNY, EDDIE, & MISS STRICT]
Case closed!
