Janet Leigh spent just one night at the Bates Motel
She had turned off the main highway
To a portal of hell
She had quickly lost her life
With the blade of a kitchen knife
And the blood went down the shower drain so well
Janet Leigh spent just one night at the Bates Motel

The Bates Motel has twelve rooms that are cheap
The desk clerk, has a deadly behavioral quirk
And his mother oversees everything with such strict decrees
What other place is run so well in hell?
Janet Leigh spent just one night at the Bates Motel

Janet Leigh had a bite with the desk clerk Norman and his emotions were stormin'
A part of his mind was tricked with sexual conflict. A hidden psyche was pricked
And what that psyche can do we know only too well
And Janet Leigh spent just one night at the Bates Motel

Moody mother at all times Is the expected norm
Any woman who sees her son is considered too dangerously warm
When the time came for Janet to sleep
She had stepped in way too deep
She went to the bathroom and met her eminent doom

She enters the shower
And she turns on the water
When somebody steps in
Pulls the curtain takes a knife stabs her repeatedly
Bernard Herrmann music plays
Her corpse is in the shower bleeding for all to see
This was a murder of passion
I want you to realize
So stay away from that motel off the road

Janet Leigh spent just one night at the Bates Motel
She had turned off the main highway
To a portal of hell
She had quickly lost her life
With the blade of a kitchen knife
And the blood went down the shower drain so well
