Vamping Rover

Original Air: Rambling Rover
Original Lyrics: Andy M. Stewart

CHORUS:
There are mortal necks a-plenty,
And fledgelings barely twenty
There are ancients and carouches
Who have ne'er yet bit a lass,
But gi' me a vampin' rover
Frae Beijing on to Dover
We will fly the whole world over
And we'll watch as the cent'ries pass.

I've flown through all the nations
Ta'en some joy in my Creations
An' I've ta'en their necks' libations
Ev'ry time that our paths dae cross
When the bottles give nae pleasure,
We'll hunt another measure,
Find some tasty necks to treasure
So oor evenin' is not a loss.

CHORUS:
There are mortal necks a-plenty,
And fledgelings barely twenty
There are ancients and carouches
Who have ne'er yet bit a lass,
But gi' me a vampin' rover
Frae Beijing on to Dover
We will fly the whole world over
And we'll watch as the cent'ries pass.

There are vamps who gain enjoyment
From mortal lives' embroilment
Their "redemption" was their deployment
From the moment they saw the Light
But for those whose natures savour
The best i' human flavour
Find the hunt i' their behaviour
Ta'in' joy from their victims' fright.

CHORUS:
There are mortal necks a-plenty,
And fledgelings barely twenty
There are ancients and carouches
Who have ne'er yet bit a lass,
But gi' me a vampin' rover
Frae Beijing on to Dover
We will fly the whole world over
And we'll watch as the cent'ries pass.


When yoor oldest son's a talker
And yoor daughter/sire's a stalker
Your first fledgeling was a street-walker
And you wonder how you survive
'Midst the flamin' stakes and crosses
An' the one who never flosses --
Take revenge agin' yoor losses;
Through adversity you will thrive.

CHORUS:
There are mortal necks a-plenty,
And fledgelings barely twenty
There are ancients and carouches
Who have ne'er yet bit a lass,
But gi' me a vampin' rover
Frae Beijing on to Dover
We will fly the whole world over
And we'll watch as the cent'ries pass.
