How to know a vampire
Is the lesson of the day
You won't need your crucifix
So let's throw that away
Garlic, Holy Water
They won't be doing much
You'll find out for yourself
If you surrender to his touch
He may look a little dated
Wears the clothes in which he died
Foppish hat and coat
Cane swishing by his side
He'll have a ghastly pallor
He'll look rather pale
Disguising this by drinking
He'll blame it on the ale
One thing you should notice
He will have blood red lips
Underfed and skinny
Probably snakelike hips
Another thing to watch for
He'll be really fast
You won't be his first victim
Definitely not his last
Walking with the shadows
He'll look like you and me
Is there any other monster
Who could walk the streets so free?
Well mannered and polite
He'll have a graceful air
You'll only know his purpose
When he brings his fangs to bear
He'll be a proper smoothie
He'll be oozing with charm
But if you stay within the day
You'll be safe from harm
Here the lesson endeth
You'll pass it on, won't you?
Now you know a vampire
And you know what not to do
So if you come across one
Tip your hat and be polite
But to really know a vampire
You must let him take a bite...
