In the not too distant future, science fiction becomes science fact. While a new treatment is celebrated for extending millions of human lives past their expiration date, a dark future looms on the horizon. Should the test subject die of unnatural causes, the brain continues to function on the most basic of levels, leaving the poor soul doomed to walk this earth as a zombie; neither living nor dead. But as humankind is want to do, the creatures slowly but surely adapt - living in their old homes, working at their old jobs, and sending their children to... zombie high school! Welcome to the end of the world This is where we all go to school Learnin how to act and play nice 'stead of being flesh eating ghouls Hey, it's not much but it's home at the end of the world There's so much space we can roam at the end of the world What do you think you would see at the end of the world What is this stink, oh it's me at the end of the world! Welcome to the end of the world, Not much more left here to explain If it seems like too much for you Maybe we could lighten your BRAINS Welcome to the end of the world Welcome to the end of the World It's the end of the world It's the end of the Maggie: Has anyone seen the principal's office?

What a feeling I can't express I've hit the ceiling at ZHS The sun is out and the sky is clear I want to shout that I know this year Everything's gonna be great Everything's going my way Never thought I'd see the day When everything's gonna be great What a feeling I can't explain My head is reeling no more mundane I'll try to fit in so wish me luck hope I don't get bitten that'd really suck No! Everything's gonna be great I hope that they put on a play Like Pride and Prejudice and Zombays Everything's gonna be great Put away the past Hope I make friends fast No way I can fall Cuz I've seen it all It seems so bizarre How I got this far but I'm here now and I have to say Everything's gonna be great I hope that you all can relate I'll sing about how I can't wait For everything coming my way La La La Derek: SHUT UP I CAN'T HEAR! Maggie: Oh, Sorry.

What's this feeling I can't quite place Everyone seems to hate my face It's like I'm sleeping in some bad dream Things are not at all what they seemed Everything's not going great and at a ridiculous rate I think I might try to escape cuz everything's not going great Wa's

Zombie High 02:10
There's a place I know where you're 'sposed to learn what to do with your life after you've been turned Do you know the place you go when you die? Some might call it hell we call it Zombie High Zombie High Where we hope you'll lose your mind Just like any school we've got angsty teens and they'll eat you alive I mean literally at Zombie High We've got nerds and jocks and of course the band more pep rallies than you thought you could ever stand The cheerleaders, they don't cause much fuss I'd say that they need brains but it's too obvious Zombie high Where you're taught after you die When it comes to humans you must pick a side you can integrate or choose Zombie Pride at Zombie High Don't forget the Goths Look out for the geeks I hear they've been fighting for twenty-eight weeks (later!) Zombie High You'll be asking yourself why Cuz the smell alone could kill a cow fact I'm not quite sure how you're standing now at Zombie High

I was just a fool who couldn't find his soul when I felt the light of sentience return So I built this school and only had one goal to help my undead kindred to learn I had a dream the walking dead would be a friend to man instead of fearing for his foolish head I had a dream ago but now that dream it starts to slip away from my decaying grip and like rats on a sinking ship I don't know where to go but I know even though What has happened here we've fallen oh so fast is this where I begin to lose control? This could have been the year we put away the past but the past it holds me tight and won't let go. I had a dream that dream is dead no way to be resurrected and even if we lose our heads, they'll never take our souls We have the means to stand up strong and I've been dreaming far too long I've beaten death, I'll beat this wrong We'll show them how we've grown 'Cause I know even though I'm a zombie I still have a soul

So you want to be a zombie well here's the thing you gotta relearn how to dance and sing We won't let you shamble for the rest of your days So you'll have to learn a few of our undead ways Put your arms down reach for the ground Then you will find you'll be a Zombie in No Time! Your unlife has started your mind has departed You're no longer living just forget that whole thing Now you're expired You're worn out and tired Don't give up Maggie, Just wait soon you'll see Close up your mouth Your tongue's hanging out Then you will find you'll be a Zombie in No Time! If you forget do not regret We will help you remember Don't go roaming or mouth-foaming or you will be dismembered! Straighten your spine Walk a straight line Then you will find you'll be a Zombie in No Time! I had a banana but my dear friend Anna would rather that I have a grape They're squishy and mushy and best of all juicy and have the same texture as brains. What a bad rhyme I think Evan's lost his mind At least you'll find We've made you a Zombie in No Time!

Biology 01:58
Maggie Mulligan I've been dead so long I don't know where to begin I'd tell you What state I'm in but biology won't let me win so I'll show you my heart how it beats again Maggie Mulligan For you Maggie Mulligan When I saw you It felt like a sin to love the living to love a human but you gave me the warmest grin now I feel you underneath my skin So I'll show you my heart How it beats again, Maggie Mulligan for you.

The Plan 01:19
Stupid Maggie Mulligan Who does this girl think she is Not me, not me. Doesn't she know I run this school Trying to make me look a fool We'll see, We'll see I will bring her down I don't mess around Cuz I wear the crown and I run this town I can win their hearts If I play my part I can win their hearts I can win their hearts! I'll start my own society make her think she wants to be the lead indeed All the others will see the truth and come running back to my crew Go me! Yeah me I will bring her down I don't mess around Cuz I wear the crown and I run this town I can win their hearts if I play my part I can win their hearts I will win their hearts!

When I was young When I was just a little girl The zombies attacked I lost my best friend in the world I cried all night but it was all right When my mother said to me Don't lose heart now don't lose heart I won't lose heart I can't lose heart Now that I'm this what would my mother say to me? Would she even recognize her daughter Maggie? Would she know me? Would she hold me? Would she tell me It'll be all right? She'd say don't lose heart now don't lose heart I won't lose heart I can't lose heart
12.
Evan: Maggie Mulligan all my unlife where have you been I'll show you my heart How it beats again, Maggie Mulligan for you. Maggie: Don't lose heart now Don't lose heart I won't lose heart I can't lose heart Tess: I will win their hearts All: My heart

The Rally 02:23
You think you're cool like you run this school but you didn't know you're a bunch of ghouls! Integration: We only have one goal in mind To act like humans, and humankind What's wrong with wanting to be like them? It's better than living like we've been condemned Zombie Pride: The humans don't want any part of us The thought of that is ridiculous They hate our guts and they often say that they wish we all would shamble away Integration: If we stop trying to eat their flesh Maybe our kinds will be able to mesh Clean up our faces, and don't try to bite And party with the humans all day and night Zombie Pride They're probably getting ready to kill us all Burn us in a pile like leaves in the fall We should get ready for the human transgress We should start building an army of darkness Both: Think you're cool like you run this school but you didn't know you're a bunch of ghouls Leah: Wait you guys, we don't have to fight All: Shut up Leah Leah: We can work this out, we don't have to shout All: Shut up Leah! Principal Weathers: What's going on why are you fighting? All this for a student biting These aren't the wrongs that needed righting and this you all should know I had a dream we'd work together Man and zombie birds of a feather Tess: Well no one cares ex-Principal Weathers, and now you have to go Can't you see, it can't be Cuz we're zombies Yes we're zombies Leah: We don't have to fight All: Shut up LE-AHHHHHH!

Funeral 00:54
15.
We're not monsters, we're zombies and as conscious beings, we have the same responsibilities as humans...and the same potential. Let's sing about it
16.
Whether 01:27
There will always be those who judge you Just because you're not the same but that's their prerogative You're not the one to blame Whether living or undead We all have a soul inside It's our choice how to live (or unlive) We don't have to hide Whether or not there's blood in the veins or if there's breath in the lungs a human is still a human and should be treated as one
17.
Goodbye from the end of the world We hope that you all had a good time Remember when we did that one song and Evan made that terrible rhyme Evan: Just drop it you guys! Hey, everything turned out great at the end of the world Will you take me on a date (Yes!) at the end of the world I'm glad that we resolved the plot Wait, there's something we forgot Hey, Look at me I'm not dead at the end of the world Though now I am just a head at the end of the world! Goodbye from the end of the world We hope to see you all again soon If the undead isn't your thing Maybe you'll come back for the tunes Goodbye from the end of the world Goodbye from the end of the world It's the end of the world!

about

In the not-so-distant future, after the Zombie Apocalypse, Zombies send their children to--Zombie High School!

In 2010, a cappella group Late Night Menu charmed Minnesota Fringe Festival audiences with an all-original, 100% a cappella musical about zombies in high school.

This album collects all 13 songs from the award-winning Fringe show, from the peppy opener "Welcome to the end of the World," to the dramatic "Principal's Lament," intense "Mashed Hearts," and inspiring closer "Whether."
