Bed, Bloodbath and Beyond



If bathtime's too boring for you
Try soaking in deep crimson grue
Ablutions seem duller
Without Technicolor
Let red be your personal hue.

David Cairns

Vincent Price takes a bath in The Tingler (William Castle, 1959).

  1. I'm drawing a bath before bed
    There's hot and there's cold running red
    The plumbing is creaky
    and something is leaky
    The body of water has bled

  2. In the bathroom you're taking the plunge
    With your loufa, your flannel and sponge
    But when you're done disrobin'
    Your tub's haemoglobin
    Has turned to a big mess of gunge.

  3. The bath's crimson and viscous and icky
    Like a simmering bisque thickened sticky
    From the tap something poured
    like a chap had been gored
    for a grim flavored Squishee at Kwik-E
