Beetlejuice, Then And Now

In 1988 they made a movie of a couple

Who died driving off a one lane bridge.

They ended up haunting their family home

Because New Yorkers tried to sell their fridge.

They sang a reggae song about bananas

And almost had a wedding with a demon

And then a random sandworm saved the day

And everybody smiled instead of screamin’.

In 2024 they made a movie of a kid

And her parents and grandparents and a cop who is actually an actor, and an ex-wife and some random murdery boyfriend, etc.

They also had a wedding with a demon

Before a random sandworm saved the day

And I’m just wondering why Hollywood

Can’t just make films the 1988 way.
