by Rosaleen (Roie) Norton (1917 - 1979)

Swoon‑Number, Sung by Don Qui Bray
Language: English 
You’re the vamp in my Vampire,
You’re the Belle in Belfreee.
Your hellseye gleams haunt my hemlock dreams
You’re just the garrgoil for me, for me,
Come Vampire-pie an’ vamp me,
O Ghoulbelle,
Yes, Ghoulie, come an’ eat meeeee.
