Rebecca J. Carlson: Vampire in Love

Shortly after reading Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight," I happened to be watching the Muppet Show episode where that blond headed girl singer performs "Teenager in Love" with a back up group of tall, pink furry monsters. Inspiration struck, and this was the result:

I'd like to dedicate this song to Edward, Bella, and all you Twilight fans out there:

Vampire in Love

Each time I want to bite you
It almost breaks my heart.
If I should suck you dry, dear
Then we would have to part!

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a vampire in love?

My looks have got you charmed, dear.
My diet makes you sad.
You'll have to learn to take
The good with the bad.

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a vampire in love?

My folks would like to meet you.
Come over for a bite.
But then they just might eat you,
And I'd be alone tonight.

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a vampire in love?

I'll cry a tear for no victim but you.
I'll be a lonely one if we can't see this through.
Well, if you want to become like me,
to do that won't be hard,
But then where would the fun be?
You're delicious as you are!

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a vampire in love?
Why must I be a vampire in love?
Why must I be a vampire in love?
Why must I be a vampire in love?

Note: Original lyrics to "Teenager in Love" are by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman.
