lyrics
Oh the fun we would have
scaring the hell outta all my friends,
If only Boris Karloff was my dad...
We'd go see horror flicks
He'd say these movies today are too darn sick
Back in his day all he had to do
was look...at you
And I would be the be
the best son a dad could have
And I would be the happiest boy you ever met
If only Boris Karloff was my dad
If Boris Karloff was my dad
We'd sip tea and act out scenes
From Edgar Allan Poetry
If only Boris Karloff was my dad
And at night he’d tuck me in
And tell me stories bout all his friends
Like Bela, Peter, Lon and Mr.Price
And I would be the be best
daughter a dad could have
And I would be the happiest girl u ever met
If Boris Karloff was my dad
If only Boris Karloff was my dad
I love you dad!
And we would be the best kids a dad could have
And we would be the happiest kids you ever met
If only Boris Karloff was our dad…
scaring the hell outta all my friends,
If only Boris Karloff was my dad...
We'd go see horror flicks
He'd say these movies today are too darn sick
Back in his day all he had to do
was look...at you
And I would be the be
the best son a dad could have
And I would be the happiest boy you ever met
If only Boris Karloff was my dad
If Boris Karloff was my dad
We'd sip tea and act out scenes
From Edgar Allan Poetry
If only Boris Karloff was my dad
And at night he’d tuck me in
And tell me stories bout all his friends
Like Bela, Peter, Lon and Mr.Price
And I would be the be best
daughter a dad could have
And I would be the happiest girl u ever met
If Boris Karloff was my dad
If only Boris Karloff was my dad
I love you dad!
And we would be the best kids a dad could have
And we would be the happiest kids you ever met
If only Boris Karloff was our dad…

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 22 fans who also own “If Only Boris Karloff Was My Dad”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
