The Lyrics
Full title is There is Something in my Basement That I Think is Vicious.
Oh…
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
It haunts my dreams when I’m asleep, and torments my best wishes
It takes the taste out of all foods I once thought were delicious
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down here, I might die
There’s something down below the house that scares me half to death
Sometimes when I am near the door, I hear its rattling breath
I hear it gnashing pointy fangs and grating its long claws
I fear it won’t be long until it has me in its jaws
Oh, there is something in my basement that I think is vicious
I hear its growling through the pipes when I’m washing the dishes
It’s something that would terrify the creepiest of fishes
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down here, I might die
That monster in the cellar always causes fright in me
I know it will not stop until it knows I’m history
I’m losing sleep from its loud roars, it’s driving me insane
If it doesn’t stop, I’ll put a bullet in my brain
Oh, there is something in my basement that I think is vicious
It’ll eat me raw, no wasting time with forks and dishes
I know it’s after me because it thinks I am delicious
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down here, I might die
I worked up all my courage and went down to take a look
To finally end this nonsense ‘bout this fire-breathing schnook
I turned on all the lights, and what I saw gave me a shock
It only was a giant rat, nibbling at a wooden block
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious!
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
It haunts my dreams when I’m asleep, and torments my best wishes
It takes the taste out of all foods I once thought were delicious
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down here, I might die
There’s something down below the house that scares me half to death
Sometimes when I am near the door, I hear its rattling breath
I hear it gnashing pointy fangs and grating its long claws
I fear it won’t be long until it has me in its jaws
Oh, there is something in my basement that I think is vicious
I hear its growling through the pipes when I’m washing the dishes
It’s something that would terrify the creepiest of fishes
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down here, I might die
That monster in the cellar always causes fright in me
I know it will not stop until it knows I’m history
I’m losing sleep from its loud roars, it’s driving me insane
If it doesn’t stop, I’ll put a bullet in my brain
Oh, there is something in my basement that I think is vicious
It’ll eat me raw, no wasting time with forks and dishes
I know it’s after me because it thinks I am delicious
There is something in my basement that I think is vicious
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down there, I might die
If I go down here, I might die
I worked up all my courage and went down to take a look
To finally end this nonsense ‘bout this fire-breathing schnook
I turned on all the lights, and what I saw gave me a shock
It only was a giant rat, nibbling at a wooden block
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious
There was something in my basement that I thought was vicious!

Missing a beat on the title line and a couple verse lines. Good paranoia.
that was fun
Interesting take on this big 7 song. Pacing was not quite perfect, But I felt the idea and execution over all was pretty good, and I commend you for taking on this song.
Nice job.
Sir, There is a crocodile in my 'crawl space' . . . I hear it every night !
he he
I bet I have a scarier basement than anyone else here. Anyway, cute parody.
That was great. All i have is a haunted spirit, a woman died in my house MANY years ago. So, anyway. That was funny.
Great..I loved it..you have quite an imagination
Ooh. This song was simply wonderful. Dont worry about that monster in your basement, me and my brother will be able to take care over it- we happen to be professional critter exterminators as well as parodists you know. All you need to do is call our number: Which is 0800-555-555.
Top notch in the humor dept. But, yeah, although I think the syllable count was pretty much there, I found the upbeats colliding with the phrasing almost everywhere. In other words, it stresses the wrong syllables or melodic note. Otherwise, however, it's fantastic.
