Lyrics to Andy the Lightbulb Eater
(c) 2005 Elisa Korenne

Mother swooned when Andy revealed
That her missing lightbulb was this morning's meal
Tonics and doctors, therapists and quacks
None could keep Andy from metal and glass
Andy nibbled on anything bright
So they switched to candles and cursed dark nights
Halogens at breakfast, fluorescents at lunch
He'd chew and he'd crack and he'd grind and he'd munch

Crack! Crunch! Feel it Slide
Screw! Twist! Down Inside

He sharpened his teeth with frequent dining
He toughened his tonsils and stomach lining
He learned to crack glass between molar and tongue
To maneuver shards past cheek and gums
He'd skip out on English, and hang out in Shop
He'd sneak into junkyards to see what was dropped
Before anyone could tell him to "Shoo!"
He'd crack and he'd grind and he'd munch and he'd chew

Crack! Crunch! Feel it Slide
Screw! Twist! Down Inside

He grabbed a snack at the hardware store
A crowd gathered, and asked for more
Soon audiences waited with eyes aglow
For Andy's Electric Lightbulb Show
Then one day it happened, his skin turned to glass
Andy opened his mouth, and the light streamed past
His fingers were beacons, his arms were beams,
He shined and he glowed and he blazed and he gleamed

Crack! Crunch! Feel it Slide
Screw! Twist! Down Inside
Crack! Crunch! Feel it Slide
Screw! Twist! Down Inside
