One man die from heart attack
Next man die from a shot to the back
Next man took his own life for what it was worth
Put him in coffin under the earth
Then we place a headstone where he lay
Rest in peace man that's what we say
Ooh god that's what we say
Hey, hey
The living dead, yes the living dead (repeat)

(Chorus):
Zombies
Why won't you die
Zombies
I'm gonna try and try and I'll try
Zombies
Why won't you die
Zombies

Who are these evil creatures that are comin after me
What can I do to stop the powers that be
Their skin is pale and their eyes are red
Risen up from their graves they are the living dead

(Chorus)

One man die by an accident
Next man an overdose could not prevent
Next man drop dead as I sing this verse
Away in that herse- under the earth
Then we place a headstone where he lay
Rest in peace man, that's what we say
Ooh god that's what we say
Hey, hey
The living dead, yes the living dead (repeat)

(Chorus)

Who are these evil creatures that are comin after me
What can I do to stop the powers that be
Their skin is pale and their eyes are red
Comin' up from their graves they are the living dead
