Title: To the Grave
Fandom: The Body Snatcher (1945)

Length: 3:12
Summary: "It's like Burke and Hare all over again!" Or, Boris Karloff's amazing leers and a cameo by Bela Lugosi.
Content notes: Graverobbing and murder for fun and profit. On-screen strangling and implied (below frame) surgery/dissection. A bread loaf gets stabbed and a cat is stroked evilly.
Physical notes: Lightning flashes ~2:54.
A/N: Made for jetpack_monkey, who won me in the 2016 Vividcon Auction. What a delight of a project. Thank you to heresluck and corbae for helping us search for songs; this gem was corbae's find.

LYRICS

Got a secret
Can you keep it
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave

If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

Why do you smile
Like you've been told a secret
Now you're telling lies
'Cause you have sworn to keep it
But no one keeps a secret
No one keeps a secret

Why when we do our darkest deeds
Do we tell
They burn in our brains
Become a living hell
'Cause everybody tells
Everybody tells

Got a secret
Can you keep it
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave

If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

[instrumental]

Look into my eyes
Now you're getting sleepy
Are you hypnotized
By secrets that you're keeping
I know what you're keeping
I know what you're keeping

Got a secret
Can you keep it
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave

If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell

Got a secret
Can you keep it
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave

If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

Got a secret
Can you keep it
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave

If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead

Yes two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead
Yes two can keep a secret
If one of us is dead
