You call this fella norman norman bates
he's got a little motel and he pays his rates
he'll greet you with a smile and a daffodil
he lives with his mother in a house on the hill

psyco shocker norman's off his rocker
he's not on the clock prepare for a shock
psyco shocker norman's off his rocker
he's not on the clock prepare for a shock
psyco shocker norman's off his rocker
he's right off the clock prepare for a shock

he's got a disposition and a mixed up mind
some may say a loner but speak as you find
soap it up baby he's in for the thrill
he lives with his mother in a house on the hill

psyco shocker norman's off his rocker
he's not on the clock prepare for a shock
psyco shocker norman's off his rocker
he's not on the clock prepare for a shock
psyco shocker norman's off his rocker
he's right off the clock prepare for a shock

he aint ed gein you know what i mean
you call this fella norman prepare for the scream
he aint ed gein you know what i mean
you call this fella norman prepare for the scream
he aint ed gein you know what i mean
he's norman bates prepare for the scream.

Hey Tom

Loved it - it's got rhythm stamped all over it.
One minor nit -

Quote
he pays his rates

shouldn't that be "you pay his rates" or "he takes his rates"

and maybe you could work in somewhere that his mother is dead.

Otherwise - ready to RAP IMO.

Where is this going musically? Psychobilly like The Cramps or something? A nice flow here. But the title made me play the 12" version of Norman Bates by Landscape on my beloved LP-player.

Another fun read Tom.

Like the way you got 'rocker' in there!

I thought the 'disposition' line should be 'got a mean disposition' or something as everyone possesses a disposition. It needs to be described.

I don't know what i'm doing but i do it anyway.
