lyrics
When I was a young girl
Perhaps just thirteen I swore one day
I'd be like the monster on my tv screen.
She was pale with black hair
Save a perfect silver streak.
Her gown was long and ghostly
and her sleeves spread out
just like bat wings.
Oh how I wanted to be like her
The perfect lady, wife and mother
Oh I hope to one day be just like her
Mrs. Lilly Munster.
She lives in a big old mansion
With a dungeon and a lab
Cobwebs hanging everywhere
A dragon beneath the stairs
Dinner with her family
Spider eye soufflé
Smooches from her Herman
And hugs from Eddie
Grandpa's says he's thirsty
she tells him, "not from me!"
Go and ask if Marilyn can
spare a pint for u to drink.
Oh how I wanted to be like her
The perfect lady, wife and mother
Oh I hope to one day be just like her...
Oh how I wanted to be like her
The perfect lady, wife and mother
Oh I hope to one day be just like her
Mrs. Lilly Munster.
Perhaps just thirteen I swore one day
I'd be like the monster on my tv screen.
She was pale with black hair
Save a perfect silver streak.
Her gown was long and ghostly
and her sleeves spread out
just like bat wings.
Oh how I wanted to be like her
The perfect lady, wife and mother
Oh I hope to one day be just like her
Mrs. Lilly Munster.
She lives in a big old mansion
With a dungeon and a lab
Cobwebs hanging everywhere
A dragon beneath the stairs
Dinner with her family
Spider eye soufflé
Smooches from her Herman
And hugs from Eddie
Grandpa's says he's thirsty
she tells him, "not from me!"
Go and ask if Marilyn can
spare a pint for u to drink.
Oh how I wanted to be like her
The perfect lady, wife and mother
Oh I hope to one day be just like her...
Oh how I wanted to be like her
The perfect lady, wife and mother
Oh I hope to one day be just like her
Mrs. Lilly Munster.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 22 fans who also own “To Be Like Lily”
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.

Next to Suffocation’s Despise the Sun this is my favorite EP of all time. Been listening to this amazing voice for a week straight on other platforms. Highest recommendation.
