I'm Grub for Reavers (Terrifying Space Monkees Medley)

With this song I attempt to address the shameful lack of bouncy pop songs about cannibalism.

I'm Grub for Reavers (Terrifying Space Monkees Medley)

By Ying (2003), with apologies to "I'm a Believer" and "Daydream Believer" by The Monkees (written by Neil Diamond, 1966, and John Stewart, 1967, respectively)

I thought they were creatures just in scary tales
Meant to creepify with gothic scenes
Gloves of Blue don't fret me
I'd prefer their means
To becoming cannibal cuisine

CHORUS:
Soon I'll be filets, oh I'm grub for Reavers
Out in space and out of their minds
I'm in troub—
I'm grub for Reavers
I see a cleaver, so goodbye . . .

Oh I would sigh at "sleep tight
And don't let the Reavers bite"
It's sick, I'm now alarmed in bed all night
Oh then one night, quite surprised
Sight some creepy Reaver guys
Depraved and razored trolls mid-foodfight

CHORUS [2]:
"Skin-tight" clothes they weave
Hearts are worn on sleeves
Oh now, I'm grub for Reavers
Are my bones crumbs they leave?

. . . I thought they were moral-less but mythic beings
Dreamed so kids behave, but now I'm caught
It's abusive dinin'
Mauled with lots of pain
For the Reavers, lunchtime is bloodstained

CHORUS:
Soon I'll be filets, oh I'm grub for Reavers
Out in space and out of their minds
I'm in troub—
I'm grub for Reavers
I see a cleaver, so goodbye
