Lyrics[]
- Got 12 rooms 12 vacancies
- You can do just what you please
- Just don't get mother too irate
- And don't ever call me Master Bates
- A man should have a hobby, true
- But I got so bored I needed something to do
- So I sharpened mother's cutlery
- Now everywhere I look is blood I see
- Mother's not a fruit but she's gotta go down
- Down to the cellar so she won't be found
- I know it's not right but I just can't tell
- Of the nasties that go on in Bates Motel
