[Verse 1: Vanity]

Why don't you come into my vampire boudoir?

State your delight, the rest gets bizarre

Touch me here, touch me there

Ooh, when you touch, I let go of my air


[Chorus: Vanity]

You're that someone that drives me insane

As if something got stuck in my vein

When you touch me, I scream in delight

Hurry, hurry, touch me tonight

I'm flippin' out, yeah

I'm flippin' out, ooh (Ha-ha)


[Verse 2: Vanity]

You can swallow me all in one bite

Crème de la Cocoa is what I taste like

Bite me here, ooh, swallow me there

I could follow and die without fear


[Chorus: Vanity]

You're that someone who drives me insane

Kiss my neck with your sharp fangs and stay

If you kiss me, I'll scream in delight

Hurry, hurry, try me tonight

I'm flippin' out, yeah


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus: Vanity]

You're that someone who drives me insane

You are that man so in touch with my vein, ooh

If you catch me, I'll sleep in delight

Hurry, hurry, catch me tonight

I'm flippin' out

I'm flippin' out, yeah


[Verse 3: Vanity]

Why don't you come back to my vampire boudoir?

I am the vamp who bites the vampire

Vamp me here, ooh, love me there

If you love me, I'll swallow your spear


[Chorus: Vanity]

You're that vampire who drives me insane

Like that sharp fang that sucked on my vein

When you bite me, I scream in delight

Hurry, hurry, bite me right

I'm flippin' out, ha-ha, ooh yeah

I'm flippin' out, I'm flippin' out

[Spoken Interlude: Vanity & Male Announcer]

Vamp, short for Vanity

A woman who uses her charms and wiles to seduce

Vampish Vanity, I am vamp!

A woman who practices seductiveness by magic spell

[Spoken Outro: Vanity]

A fool there was, and you paid your coin

To a dark-eyed dame from the tenderloin

You took me in the west coast town

And dressed me up in a form-fit gown

Filled my eyes with Bella-la-donna

And said, "Now lady, forget your honor

For henceforth now, you're a scarlet scamp

The grandest, red-lipped, black-souled vamp"

So now I lie awake in my tomb

Awaiting the next, kiss me, my fool!
