Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
The full title of the 1922 German expressionist vampire film is "Nosferatu: Symphonie des Grauens." Grauens: horrors; grau: gray.
Bats have a belfry view
And hear the chimes.
Saw logs. . .they're comin' after you.
They are flyin'
Toward you, flyin'.
On you they have landed;
They start to chow down
On your veins, so sanguine,
So salubriousness won't be found.
They've come to relish you,
Ready to dine. . .
Tooth tines.
In they flew,
Toothy crew,
To chew you,
You turn blue--auf Deutsch, "blau."
You they don't spare
You've gone from rosy
To sickly grau. . .
"Symphonie. . ."
Then like Nosferatu,
You rise to dine
[fade on sound of carotid being sucked]
And hear the chimes.
Saw logs. . .they're comin' after you.
They are flyin'
Toward you, flyin'.
On you they have landed;
They start to chow down
On your veins, so sanguine,
So salubriousness won't be found.
They've come to relish you,
Ready to dine. . .
Tooth tines.
In they flew,
Toothy crew,
To chew you,
You turn blue--auf Deutsch, "blau."
You they don't spare
You've gone from rosy
To sickly grau. . .
"Symphonie. . ."
Then like Nosferatu,
You rise to dine
[fade on sound of carotid being sucked]

drove me batty
Certainly a very different spin from this author's "Bats In His Belfry".
