Baby Einstein Haunted Mansion/Life Hereafter

"**Life Hereafter**" is a song featured in the 2021 YouTube television special, *Baby Einstein Haunted Mansion*. It is sung by the Ghost Host (played by Noah Sweetland) and various Baby Einstein Puppets and Kids including a ghost version of Vincent Van Goat.

It is a style parody of "Be Our Guest", with earlier script drafts for the movie originally calling for the number to be a much more direct parody called "Be Our Ghost".

## Lyrics

**Ghost Host (spoken):**

We now invite you to sit back and relax, as our 999 residents proudly present... your funeral.

**Vincent Van Goat:**

Welcome to the life hereafter

Sleepless nights, eternal laughter

Buy the farm, push up some daisies

**Puppets:**

Then get down with us creepy crazies

**Ryan The Rhino (spoken):**

Hi, wanna come play with me?

**Ghost Host:**

Frights for you

**Ghost:**

And daily nightmares

**Seasons Zebras:**

Ghoulish scares to raise your neck hairs

**Ghost Host:**

If you think it's too macabre,

Follow the floating candelabra

**Rocco the Rooster:**

But he ain't Young and he can't croon

**Jaxon the Giraffe:**

We did that in a beastly cartoon

**Ghost Host (spoken):**

She was a beauty

**Ghost Host:**

We'll never rest, we'll never cease

'Till you finally rest in peace

**Theo Van Goat:**

You can swing and you can fly

**Bonkers the Frog:**

Or you can die

**Pillie the Woodpecker (spoken):**

No I Can't Die!

**Vincent Van Goat:**

But to grant your endless wishes

**Oliver the Octopus:**

First, you must sleep down with the fishes

**Sierra Clark (spoken):**

Hey! Hold on, I'm not sleepy! (screams)

**Vincent Van Goat:**

Rain or snow

**Ghost Host:**

Lightning or thunder

**Puppets:**

The party is down here six feet under

**Galileo The Kangaroo:**

Trick or treat?

**Misty The Mouse:**

Take a smell of my feet

**Mimi the Monkey:**

And give me something good to eat

**Ghost Host:**

You're all alone, but don't be scared

We've got your wake all pre-prepared

**Bubba The Boss Bird (spoken):**

Hi, I'm serving soup. It's a cream mock tortoise and a yummy red that pairs with rigor mortis. (laughs)

**Johnathan Simon (spoken):**

It's all so dopey. I'm complaining.

**Maria Celeste (spoken):**

At least it's almost entertaining.

**Both:**

(laughing)

**Johnathan Simon (spoken):**

Huh? What the--

**Announcer (spoken):**

Your attention, please. Restless spirits have halted our progress. Please remain seated in your doom buggy, and we will continue our tour momentarily.

**Johnathan Simon (spoken):**

Oh, no. The only thing worse than being stuck in here with you is being stuck in here with them!

**Both:**

(laughing)

**Randy The Raccoon:**

We tell jokes

**Roger The Rooster:**

I do tricks

**Noah the Elephant:**

With my deadly candlesticks

**Roger The Rooster (spoken):**

Uh-oh.

**Vincent Van Goat:**

Come on now and lift your glass

**Ghost Host:**

Filled with poison sassafras

**Stripes the Tiger:**

(Speaking Japanese)

**Baabra the Lamb:**

Sign your will, deed, and trust

'Cause it's time to bite the dust

**All:**

Cash in your chips, we're not joking

Now's the time you should be croaking

You're so great, none can compare

No one has your savoir faire

**Ghost Host:**

It's time to turn your whole life story

Into a momento mori

**All:**

Corpse by corpse and one by one

Until you shout, "My life is done"

**Vincent Van Goat:**

So join us in this life hereafter

**All:**

Sleepless nights, eternal laughter

Sleepless nights, eternal laughter

Sleepless nights, eternal laughter

Sleepless nights, eternal laughter

**Vincent Van Goat:**

And now the greatest act of all

**Ghost Host:**

It's Aspen's fun that haves a ball

**All:**

From the basement to the rafters

Join us in the great hereafter

You'll be great forever after

**Max The Lamb:**

In our monstrous life hereafter

**All:**

For our afterparty afterlife

**Hugo The Hippo (spoken):**

Rest. In. Peace.

**All (spoken):**

R.I.P.!
