about

A streak of mysterious murders rolls out in clubs and speakeasies, as human performers begin to quit the stage in coffins! Of course it has nothing to do with subsequent domination of goblin girls, taking place at the microphone...

Editor's note: The singers' names are allusions to famous fiction and non-fiction female characters linked with jazz era. Could you guess which is which?

lyrics

Ladies and gents,
Fill your glasses
Our next performance
Is not meant for prudes

A singer, a dancer
She'll make you feel dizzy
An evergreen gal
From evergreen woods, woods

Fresh as a pile of,
Graceful as cripple,
Her teeth and voice
As sharp as a saw

Languishing eyes
Hazy with duckweed
Her frame's so curvy
As curvy are her bones

How come she's the only singer
Fave of the audience, fave of the bar?
How come every night they book her?
How come she's the only star?

One by one they disappeared
Pompous bitches, human whores
Arrogant broads now rest in a dumpster
Chopped into pieces by the goblin doll

One by one - and there were none
Rivals now be driven away with a gun
Don't you know that
She's the only one

Marilyn choked
On a cherry pit,
Shirley met
With a random van

Jessica ran
Headlong in a mirror
Betty took off from
A top window pan
