Frankenstein's Monster

They gave me some bolts,

They gave me some jolts.

They gave me a great deal of fame.



They gave me a bride,

And even some pride.

But they never did give me a name.



I'm called Frankenstein,

But it's his name - not mine.

And the two of us aren't the same.



I'd rather be Bud

Or Wolfgang or Spud,

Or something not nearly so lame



As the handle that stuck--

What a bad piece of luck!

And all of you folks are to blame!



No wonder I'm cranky -  

Stop calling me Frankie!

Won't somebody give me a name!
