Down in the Graveyard

Down in the graveyard by the old oak tree

Roamed an old mother zombie and her little zombies three.

"Fresh meat!" cried the mother. "Tastes sweet!" cried the three.

And they ripped out the intestines from the caretaker, Lee.

 

Down in the graveyard by the mausoleum door

Lived an old mother werewolf and her little wolfies four.

"Fresh fat!" howled the mother. "Tastes great!" howled the four.

And they tore into the belly of the visitor, Lenore.

 

Down in the graveyard by the rusty old gate

Hung an old mother vampire and her little vampies eight.

"Fresh blood!" squeaked the mother. "Tastes good!" squeaked the eight.

And they sank their greedy fangs into the gravedigger, Nate.
