Original Off-Broadway Lyrics
 [VERONICA]

I wanted someone strong who could protect me

I let his anger fester and infect me

His solution is a lie

No one here deserves to die

Except for me and the monster I created

Yeah!

Yeah!

Heads up, J.D.

I’m a dead girl walkin’

[STUDENTS]

Heyo Westerburg!

[VERONICA]

Can’t hide from me

I’m your dead girl walkin’

[STUDENTS]

Heyo Westerburg!

[VERONICA]

And there’s your final bell

It’s one more dance and then farewell

Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walkin’

[STUDENTS]

Whoa

[HEATHER MCNAMARA]

Come on, Westerburg!

[STUDENTS]

Whoa

[HEATHER MCNAMARA]

Here we go, here we go now!

[PAULINE FLEMING]

Veronica!

Jason Dean told me you’d just committed suicide!

[VERONICA]

Yeah, well, he’s wrong about a lot of things

[PAULINE FLEMING]

I threw together a lovely tribute

Especially given the short notice

[VERONICA]

Mrs. Fleming, what’s under the gym?

[PAULINE FLEMING]

The boiler room

[VERONICA]

That’s it!

[PAULINE FLEMING]

Veronica, what’s going on?

(Key Change)

[VERONICA & STUDENTS]

Got no time to talk

I’m a dead girl walking! (Heyo Westerburg!)

[STUDENTS]

Heyo Westerburg!

Tell me what’s that sound?

Here comes Westerburg

Comin’ to put you in the ground!

Go! Go! Westerburg!

Give a great big yell!

Westerburg will knock you out

And send you straight to hell!

[VERONICA]

Step away from the bomb

[J.D.]

This little thing? I’d hardly call this a bomb

This is just to trigger the packs of thermals upstairs in the gym

Those are bombs

People are gonna see the ashes of Westerburg High School

And they're gonna think

"There’s a school that self-destructed

Not because society doesn't care

But because that school was society"

The only place Heathers and Marthas can truly get along is in Heaven!

[VERONICA]

I wish your mom had been a little stronger

I wish she stayed around a little longer

(Key Change)

I wish your dad were good!

I wish grown-ups understood!

I wish we met before they convinced you life is war!

I wish you’d come with me!

[J.D.]

I wish I had more TNT!

[STUDENTS]

Heyo Westerburg!

Heyo Westerburg!

Tell me what’s that sound?

Here comes Westerberg

Comin’ to put you in the ground!

Go! Go! Westerburg!

Give a great big yell!

Westerburg will knock you out

And send you straight to—
