Cold Ethyl
Alice Cooper · Welcome To My Nightmare
Is Cold Ethyl and her skeleton kiss
We met last night
Making love by the refrigerator light
Ethyl, Ethyl, let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl, Ethyl, come and freeze me with your charms
One thing, no lie
Ethyl's frigid as an Eskimo Pie
She's cool in bed
And she ought to be...'cause Ethyl's dead
Ethyl, Ethyl, let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl, Ethyl, come and freeze me with your charms
Come on, Cold Ethyl
Freeze me, babe
One thing, it's true
Cold Ethyl, I am stuck on you
And everything is my way
Ethyl don't have much to say
Ethyl, Ethyl, let me squeeze you in my arms
Ethyl, Ethyl, come and freeze me with your charms
Come here, Cold Ethyl
What makes you so cold?
Ooh, so cold...ooh...
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl, Cold, Cold Ethyl
If I live till I'm 97
You'll still be waiting in refrigerator heaven
Cause you're cool, you're ice
Cold Ethyl, you're my paradise
Cold Ethyl
Cold Ethyl stands as a haunting centerpiece on Alice Cooper's 1975 concept album, Welcome To My Nightmare. The track captures the theatrical horror and dark atmosphere that defined Cooper's work during this era, moving beyond the shock-rock roots of his earlier years into a more narrative-driven soundscape. Musically, the song features a driving rhythm and Cooper's signature vocal delivery, blending rock intensity with a sense of creeping dread. As part of the album's cohesive story, it contributes to the broader exploration of nightmares and psychological tension that characterizes the record. The recording remains a significant song in Cooper's extensive discography, showcasing his ability to craft memorable, character-driven rock anthems that resonate with fans of classic hard rock and theatrical performance.
