The Lyrics
You know that they are an un[dead] crew,
You know that they cannot expire
Unless a stake is stuck through
Pump of lunch this bunch desire.
Undead, and they bite, vampires, (2x)
Biting in the night, vampires.
The time to hesitate—eschew.
The night is Hallow—this is dire.
Pry the lid ’neath which they snooze;
To steady your nerves: deeply respire.
Undead, and they bite, vampires, (2x)
Liking it, the night, vampires.
The time to heft a stake is due,
No time to be callow, retire
From this cave in which they snooze.
Hammer-punch it in and do not tire.
Punch with all your might, don’t tire!
Punch these punks that bite, don’t tire!
Tiring in this fight is dire!
I know now that you’re weak, it’s true,
I know now that you’re going to tire.
Tire now and we’ll only lose
Blanched and bloodless, we’ll be in their hire.
Come on, make it—tire not, fire
Up those synaptical wires!
Tire now and they’ll bite, vampires!!
Dire now is our plight. . .vampires!!!
Biting us, oh shite! you tired!!!!

JAB - Scarier than a house full of creaking "Doors"! I vant to gif you tree fifes! ;D
Vamp & Hoe your wagons . . . . SirHeady !
Couple of places where it, uh, lurched a little, somewhat awkward phrasing, but about two runs through and, yeah, I could sing this one. (I can manage most doors stuff fine. I sound 'spookier than morrison, though - go down lower in pitch, and then can scream so high your ears hurt) Needs some time on a four-track, and then sell it during halloween. I'd bet it would cause fainting and heart attacks if done decently.
