Vampires, mummies, and the Holy Ghost  
These are the things that terrify me the most  
No aliens, psychopaths, or MTV hosts  
Scares me like vampires, mummies, and the Holy Ghost

The zombies were having fun  
The party had just begun  
The guests included Wolf Man  
Dracula and his son  
The scene was rockin’, all were diggin’ the sounds  
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds  
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive  
With their vocal group, “The Crypt-Kicker Five”

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen  
Doin’ the werewolves of London  
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walking with the Queen, uh  
Doin’ the werewolves of London  
I saw a werewolf drinkin’ a piña colada at Trader Vic’s  
His hair was perfect

I’m a truck drivin’ vampire, I only drive by night.  
A truck drivin’ vampire, undead, but not uptight.  
I’m a good ol’ nosferatu, and an eighteen-wheelin’ stud,  
Wearin’ white socks, drinkin’ Blue Ribbon, and redneck blood.

One, two, three, four

We walk the streets, I’m out to get you  
We bite  
Just a feast of gore and blood  
We bite  
Carnivores live for pleasure  
We bite  
Strike out like a wolf’s endeavor  
We bite

There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight  
I see faces as they pass  
Beneath the pale lamplight  
I’ve no choice but to follow that call  
The bright lights, the people  
And the moon and all  
I pray everyday to be strong  
For I know what I do must be wrong

Well the days went by all dull and gray  
And he didn’t think much and had little to say  
And when the full moon rose, he’d climb over the moat  
Find some people sleeping, and he’d bite their throats!  
Mediocre Fred  
Mediocre, dull Fred

Now the folks around south Louisiana  
Said Amos was a hell of a man  
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator  
And just use one hand

That’s all he got left 'cause alligator bit it  
Left arm gone, clean up to the elbow

Where a man can hide and never be found  
And have no fear of the bayin’ hound  
But he better keep movin’ and don’t stand still  
If the skeeters don’t get him then the gators will

A man can’t live in the Everglades

You hear him howling around your kitchen door  
You better not let him in

Werewolves of London again

I got your name from a friend of a friend  
Who said he used to work with you  
You remember the all night creature from Stereo Ninety Two?  
Yeah, I said, “Could you relate to our quarter track tape  
You know the band performs in the nude”  
He said, “Uh-huh, don’t call us, child, we’ll call you”

Burn down the mission  
If we’re gonna stay alive  
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven  
See the red flame light the sky

Burn down the mission  
Burn it down to stay alive  
It’s our only chance of living  
Take all you need to live inside
