Tim Burton Hos
Awkward Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Lydia Dettz from fuckin' Bettlejuice
I'm strange and unusaul, what's your excuse?
Tim Burton's favorite cuz I'm sixteen
He likes his bitches young, take that Red Queen
I can see the dead, I ain't scurred, please
Have my own Handbook for the Recently Deceased
Where'd you get those threads, Sally?
The local thrift store?
Who do you think you are? Fuckin' Macklemore!
My suicidal thoughts will make you cream
Bitch, look at me, I'm a goth boy's wet dream
Been hangin' with some Sandworms
That's not a euphemsim
And shakin' my senora straight up to the ceiling
I'm alone, scratch that, I'm utterly alone
But, who needs friends when you've got ghosts up in your home
Hey Burton, come here, you wanna let loose?
Gonna make you scream, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

We're Tim Burton Hos
If you wanna know
Who Tim loves the most
Better listen to our flow
Your worst fantasy
Worse than LSD
We can guarantee
Getting freaky in the sheets, like whoa

I'm Sally, your worst nightmare before Christmas
Tim Burton's baby doll, so don't mess with this, bitch
I'm stitched together, hottest girl in the hood
Don't need plastic surgery when you look this good
I'm shy and I'm meek, but this girl can flow
Quit braggin', you just another Beetlejuice ho
I once dated Jack, but he's just a schmuck
He couldn't even keep his white bony dick up
How ironic that a skeleton can't even bone
So, now I'm with Burton, I sit on his throne
That's right, Red Queen, you think your're so hard
I laugh at your busted-ass army of cards
The truth is you're tweaking, you're just a young weakling
Don't bother to knock when you hear our bed creaking
Come down to the dark side, you don't have to fear it
I'll give you a whiff of my true Christmas spirit

We're Tim Burton Hos
If you wanna know
Who Tim loves the most
Better listen to our flow
Your worst fantasy
Worse than LSD
We can guarantee
Getting freaky in the sheets, like whoa

Off with your heads! Here comes the Red Queen!
I'll make you go mad cuz this hoodrat is mean
I'm good at croquet and I go all the way
In real life I get to fuck Burton all day
You a buttaface, Sally, aned you look like shit
And your tiny-ass head I could pop like a zit
You no better, Lydia, just a teen with no tits
You have no friends cuz you're a fuckin' idot
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton both love my sweet tarts
My favorite geometry shape is a heart
Obviously, ha, just look at my lips
Go ahead and bow down and start to worship
Who's this Alice bitch, she come from the street?
I need a pig belly for my tired, achy feet
Bring me my jabberwocky, no, not the dance crew
Off with your heads cuz I'm threw with you!

We're Tim Burton Hos
If you wanna know
Who Tim loves the most
Better listen to our flow
Your worst fantasy
Worse than LSD




We can guarantee
Getting freaky in the sheets, like whoa

Overall Meaning

The song "Tim Burton Hos" by Awkward Kids is a rap battle between three of Tim Burton's most iconic female characters: Lydia Deetz from "Beetlejuice," Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and the Red Queen from "Alice in Wonderland." The lyrics are full of references to each character's unique qualities and quirks. Lydia is proud of her goth aesthetic and her ability to communicate with the dead. Sally boasts about her stitched-together appearance while taking jabs at the Red Queen's failed army of cards, and shares her love for Tim Burton. The Red Queen, in turn, is confident in her abilities to play croquet and her relationship with Burton, and insults the other two characters. The chorus proclaims their love for Tim Burton, and their prowess in the sheets.


The song can be seen as a celebration of Tim Burton's unique vision and his ability to create strong, memorable female characters who are unlike anything in mainstream pop culture. It also subverts traditional gender roles by depicting these characters as sexually confident and in control of their own destinies. The references to suicide, drugs, and sexual activity also add to the rebellious, countercultural feel of the song, which is fitting given the themes of many of Burton's films.
