Addams Groove Lyrics
They do what they want to do, say what they want to say
Live how they want to live, play how they want to play
Dance how they want to dance, kick and the slap a friend
The Addams family
Now I was cold coolin', you know (maxin' and relaxin')
Just kickin' it around the house (Oaktown kicking' it)
When a knock, a knock, a knock and a voice yo!
Can hammer come out? (what's up?)
Now I don't mind (mind) being a friend
And showin' a little bit of flava (flava)
But Wednesday, Pugsley, Gomez, Fester (oh man)
Man, them some strange neighbors
They do what they want to do, say what they want to say
Live how they want to live, play how they want to play
Dance how they want to dance, kick and the slap a friend
The Addams family
I remember the day I needed to borrow
A little of pepper (for my chicken)
The next thing you know, comin' at me
Was a hand with the fingers high steppin' (I'm witcha)
Now I tried to play it along (you know)
And act like I was havin' a ball (ha ha)
But what do I see (yo) a perm with feet (cousin it)
Standin' about three feet tall (I'm outta here)
They do what they want to do, say what they want to say
Live how they want to live, play how they want to play
Dance how they want to dance, kick and the slap a friend
The Addams family
Speakin' and thinkin' about the Addams
You know the hammer is with it (I'm with it)
Act a fool, no bones, swooop, goofy and randy
You know we kick it (the posse)
Now is the time to get in your mind
It's okay to be yourself (be yourself)
Take foolish pride and put it aside
Like the Addams, yo! they def (that's a family!)
They do what they want to do, say what they want to say
Live how they want to live, play how they want to play
Dance how they want to dance, kick and the slap a friend
The Addams family

I have always been a big fan of everything Charles Addams did, from the original newspapare cartoons and collections to the TV series and the '90s films. I love it all. But when I first heard this... 'theme'... I just got laughing so hard. It might be one of the lamest lyrics I've ever heard. 'Kick and they slap a friend'? What? So NOT funky or cool or hip or whatever he was going for. I love badness and this one is so bad it's good, I love the cheesiness (the outfits, the hair, the Hammer moves, just all of it)... but I never thought is was actually good or well done. It's pretty goofy, and was lamentably unhip even then, one of the first Hammer flaws that brought down his star so rapidly.
