Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Don't fear him, baby, that undead man
Hold him close, and you'll understand

Desire and hunger is the fire he breathes
Blood is the banquet on which he feeds

Go on now, and you'll understand
The way love feels under his command

Take his hand, as the sun descends
He can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now-o-ow-o-ow-o-ow-o-ow-o-ow!

He once could bite,
And bleed his lover!
He once could bite,
To feed blood-lust!

He once could bite,
Now he's a gummer -
He once could bite,
Now he just sucks...

(Oh) You might doubt, maybe, when you're alone
Blood is the drink for his empty soul

He's a dark angel, who bites in vain
'Cause in his head, not a tooth remains

Go on now, and you'll understand
The way love feels with an undead man

Take his hand, as the sun descends
He can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now-o-ow-o-ow-o-ow-o-ow-o-ow!

He once could bite,
And bleed his lover!
He once could bite,
To feed blood-lust!

He once could bite,
Now he's a gummer -
He once could bite,
Now he just sucks...

(instrumental)

For blood,
he weeps -
Without
it,
Vicious hunger yearns,
and burns!
Without
Teeth, oh he cannot bite -
He gives,
you goth-ic hickies,
He will leave,
red lines,
you feel,
the weal,
Of hickies now...
Hickies now...
Hickies now-ow-ow-ow, OH!!

He once could bite,
And bleed his lover!
He once could bite,
To feed blood-lust!

He once could bite,
Now he's a goner -
Once he was a vampire of death,
but now he's dust...

that is just frickin' awesome. You do not know how hard I laughed while reading this. Sounds like something I'd sing to freak a friend out.

Thanks, Happy Phantom. The " ? " question-mark characters are actually supposed to be " - " hyphen/dash-characters, but they got munged by a software glitch on AmIRight some months ago and turned into question-marks.

(luv contest '06) What I loved about this was the odd incongruency between the gothic poetry and the ridiculousness of a fangless Dracula. Nice.

(LUVCOMP) Reminds of a really bad joke: What do you call an old vampire? An old sucker. Terrible, I know. But this parody is not terrible. Good job, Johnny D.
