Originally on Adventurous EP. Inspired by the character Marceline the Vampire Queen.
lyrics
Marceline, why are you such a sad vampire queen?
Was it something wrong in your daddy's head?
Or was it something that Simon said?
Whatever it is, don't let it get you down,
You know I hate seeing you when you frown.
Stop being so sad, and looking so mean.
I'm with you now. Please cheer up, Marceline.
I hate seeing you when you're sad.
What could happen to make you feel that bad?
Will a simple hug make you feel better?
What if I gave you my favorite sweater?
Maybe you'll cheer up a tad,
When you smile it makes me glad.
I know you're dad hasn't been the best,
But I promise I'm better than all the rest.
With me, your feelings don't need to hide,
I'll make you feel deified.
There's no need to worry with me by you're side.
Marceline, why are you such a sad vampire queen?
Was it something wrong in your daddy's head?
Or was it something that Simon said?
Whatever it is, don't let it get you down,
You know I hate seeing you when you frown.
Stop being so sad, and looking so mean.
I'm with you now. Please cheer up, Marceline.
You see, not everything is so bad.
The sweaters warm, I hope you like plaid.
I hope this song made you feel better,
And made you warm down in the center
Of the heart that I know you have.
Just ignore your demon half.
I know Simon left you in the cold,
But that was something that he couldn't control.
But don't worry now, I'm here for you.
I'll be your bestest friend in Ooo.
Through the strawberry fields we stroll,
I'll even hold you're parasol.
Marceline, why are you such a sad vampire queen?
Was it something wrong in your daddy's head?
Or was it something that Simon said?
Whatever it is, don't let it get you down,
You know I hate seeing you when you frown.
Stop being so sad, and looking so mean.
I'm with you now. Please cheer up, Marceline.
