One man die from heart attack   Next man die from a shot to the back   Next man took his own life for what it was worth   Put him in coffin under the earth   Then we place a headstone where he lay   Rest in peace man that’s what we say   Ooh god that’s what we say   Hey, hey   The living dead, yes the living dead (repeat)   Chorus:   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies   I’m gonna try and try and I’ll try   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies   Who are these evil creatures that are comin after me   What can I do to stop the powers that be   Their skin is pale and their eyes are red   Risen up from their graves they are the living dead   Chorus:   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies   I’m gonna try and try and I’ll try   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies   One man die by an accident   Next man an overdose could not prevent   Next man drop dead as I sing this verse   Away in that herse- under the earth   Then we place a headstone where he lay   Rest in peace man, that’s what we say   Ooh god that’s what we say   Hey, hey   The living dead, yes the living dead (repeat)   Chorus:   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies   I’m gonna try and try and I’ll try   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies   Who are these evil creatures that are comin after me   What can I do to stop the powers that be   Their skin is pale and their eyes are red   Comin’ up from their graves they are the living dead   Chorus:   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies   I’m gonna try and try and I’ll try   Zombies   Why won’t you die   Zombies
