Long, long time ago,
I can still remember how the Turks used to make me mad
But I knew if I impaled them all
Then my country wouldn't fall
And the world would not forget the name of Vlad

So the Turkish came and I was waiting
Praising God and Muslim hating
They were sure that quite soon,
We'd bow to the crescent moon,
I still remember how they screamed,
As with a sharp stake they were reamed,
Wallachian* throne, it was redeemed.
The day the Muslims died

I was singin'..
My my Transylvanian guy,
Got my army and I'm barmy
Which you cannot deny
And those sharpened stakes I got them all standing by,
Singin' this could be the day that you die
This could be the day that you die


Then I planned a lavish feast
And invited beggars from the West and East
To come along to eat their fill,
And as they tucked in I made things hot,
And barbecued the whole damn lot,
And you know that it gave me such a thrill


Now my subjects knew I was the boss,
I was the dude you did not cross,
I ruled with an iron fist
Man, you don't wanna get me pissed,

I was a psychopathic, young Vovoide*,
And you don't wanna get me annoyed,
Impaling folk I so enjoyed
And daily people died

I was singin'..
My my Transylvanian guy,
Got my army and I'm barmy
Which you cannot deny
And those sharpened stakes I got them all standing by,
Singin' this could be the day that you die
This could be the day that you die

Then I made the Boyars* work
And I told them with an evil smirk,
My fortress you will now re-build,
And I worked the bastards "til they dropped
At Poienari* on that mountain top,
If they refused I simply had them killed

And diplomats and foreign toffs
Who would not take their turbans off
Well they made me see red,
So I nailed them to their heads,
I had law and order in my land,
With a sharpened stake always close to hand
I ruled supreme and life was grand
And daily people died

And I was singin'..
My my Transylvanian guy,
Got my army and I'm barmy
Which you cannot deny
And those sharpened stakes I got them all standing by,
Singin' this could be the day that you die
This could be the day that you die
