IN PRAISE OF STEPHEN KING (C)
My take on a 19 January 2016 "Mudcat Cafe" post, by Suzanne from Australia, of an item that had appeared earlier in a MAD Magazine from the 1960s; tune = "There's No Business Like Show Business"

I sing glories to King stories they bring disquieting,
G                                                       C
Most of them are filled with untold terror,
G                                        C
Don't be in error, I do not lie.
G                                             Am                         D

             G
I'll clari-fy.

Am                      G                         C       A

         D             G          C       A
With vampires lurking…in midair,
         Dm                         G                   C                A
Then maybe you're just waiting for a King-sized scare.

Just stop at your local bookstore.
