[DOUG, spoken] Scene 3 The church on the hill The roof is made of dirty thatch In the corner, there is a large Bible And on this wall, there’s a velvet painting of Jesus... crying Monk, and evil man who hates God Sings to his henchman, Young Monk [BUD (as Monk)] When I was a young monk I tended to my flock I prayed to Jesus, I helped the poor I wore a nice monk smock I did what I should I was always so good [DOUG (as Young Monk)] Good [BUD (as Monk)] But then I met the devil In a haunted German wood [DOUG (as Young Monk), spoken] Ugh, that sounds scary! [BUD (as Monk), spoken] It wasn’t scary It was awesome! [DOUG (as Young Monk), spoken] Ooh [BUD (as Monk)] The devil was a lady He looked just like my mom! He helped me like a baby And like a baby, I sucked my thumb I told the devil I’d do what he- [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] -said! [BUD (as Monk)] He said “glad to hear it! Now kill your daddy dead!” [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] Haunted German wood! Haunted German wood! [BUD (as Monk)] You made we what I am today [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] You haunted German wood! [DOUG (as Young Monk), spoken] Ooh, I have goosebumps! [BUD (as Monk), spoken] The story’s just beginning, young monk! [DOUG (as Young Monk), spoken] Ooh! [BUD (as Monk)] I crept into my daddy’s house That Bible by my side I yelled “greetings from the devil!” And then my daddy died It says in the Bible that you shall not- [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] -kill [BUD (as Monk)] But I sure did it that day! And I guess I always will! [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] Haunted German wood! Haunted German wood! [BUD (as Monk)] You taught me how to kill a man! [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] You haunted German wood! [DOUG [as Young Monk] (BUD [as Monk]) He is bad! (I am bad-) He is bad, he’s a bad monk! (-like a monk only can be!) He worships Satan! (I worship Satan!) [BUD (as Monk)] The devil said he had to go Back where he’s come from But he told me, “Boy, stay in the Church And keep the people dumb! You’ll have more power if they think you’re- [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] -good [BUD (as Monk)] But don’t forget the evil Of the haunted German wood!” Hey! [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] Haunted German wood! Haunted German wood! [BUD (as Monk)] You’re haunted! [DOUG (as Young Monk)] And you’re German! [BUD (as Monk)] You haunted- [DOUG (as Young Monk)] German- [BOTH (as Monk and Young Monk)] Haunted German- [BUD [as Monk] (DOUG [as Young Monk]) Haunted German wood! (Haunted German wood!) Haunted German wood! (Haunted German-) Now it is the devil’s turn I see a book? I’ll have it burned! I’ll always treasure what I learned In that haunted German... (You’re so evil!) ...wood!
