[CHORUS]
Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum
Bm, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum

[Chorus continues throughout Grendel's part]

[GRENDEL]
Mama, he ripped off my arm
And mama, he schooled me good
And mama, he battered me bad, so bad
And mama, I've been misunderstood

[MOTHER]
What the- Oh, God- I, oh- Oh, no-
I didn't want to say, "I told you so!"
Oh, God- Oh, why-
Now he- Undone, love was and then-
And now they won!

Don't go poke that nest, honey!
You'll just get bit!
Don't stick a stick in that nest, honey!
You don't know what'll come out of it!
[Brief piano solo playing melody]

You saw- I said- I won't- Oh, why-
And now I'll never, ever rest, not I
I'm gone, but now avenge I must!
Or else my heart here will combust

Don't go poke that pie there, honey!
You'll just get burned!
Don't stick a thumb in that bakin' pie, honey!
I guess you never learn!

Aiiiiiiii (mourning wail)

I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so

There's a hole where your arm once was, honey.
I guess you dug too deep..
That pie and that hive
Took a bite back, honey...
And now
It's their's to keep...
