Story Behind The Song
I started to write this song this summmer at the beach with my husband & kids. I wanted to write a funny song using famous peoples names. When I got to the chorus & wrote - "You're in my dreams - Nightmare on Elm St." - I started looking for names of other "horror" movies - bringing me to "Chuckies Bride" - the rest came easy as I could take from a previous failed relationship with someone of the same name.

Lyrics
I thought you were a nice man - but you're more like Tarzan
I thought you had manners - but you're more like a Tony Soprano
You're like a demon in disquise, instead of wearin' a shirt & tie
You must be wearin' pajamas & tellin' lies
'Cause I know - you said you loved me - like the Beatles & Elvis Presly
I sure did treat you good - got no respect like Aretha said I should
You're big career a turn did take - like Trump you dissed me - a marriage on breaks
You called & said you missed home - but I could tell you weren't alone
CHORUS:
So don't ya think - You're in my dreams - Nightmare on Elm Street
And I could scream - A Chuckies Bride to be
And I realized - If I opened my eyes - I could wake-up
'Cause I know - you said it was the hardest thing you ever did do
Like Eddie Haskell & the Beaver - I believed you
But then you put your Hancock on that legally written spot - and
Just like "Truth or Consequences" - it was quits!!!
(Repeat CHORUS)
I could wake up & make you gone
Musical Bridge
Hank William's right - I saw the light!
When I woke up & made you gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone - I made you gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Now don't you worry - didn't take me too much time
I got through my D I V O R C E just fine - Thank-you Patsy Cline!
See I married Al Pacino - No, No - He's more like Marlon Brando
He'll make you an offer you can't refuse & you'll sure lose
(Repeat CHORUS)
I could wake up & make you gone
Like a shot gun, Like a homerun
Like yesterday, you've gone away
Like a shooting star, you've gone so far
Like labor pains, you've gone away
I could wake up & make you gone!!!!
