In the dark corners
Of the night
But he' s gonna get you
'Cause he' s not human at all
He' s Dracula ha, ha, ha, ha
Chorus:
Dracula, Dracula (x2)
During the day he' s my friend
But when the night falls
He' s no friend of mine
During the day he' s my friend
But when the night falls
He' s nobody friend
His eyes shine wild with fire
His heart is cold as ice
I am scared of him
He lives on human blood
He feeds on human flesh
Stay away he' s got no mercy
No mercy at all
He' s Dracula
Chorus:
Not everything that glitters is gold
Ye man yes I say man
Don' t trust no one
Don' t even trust yourself

He walks like a human being
He eats like everybody does yeah!
But deep down in his heart
He knows he' s bad news yeah!
His eyes shine wild with fire
His heart is as cold as ice
No mercy at all Dracula

Chorus:

A'him a' go round lamping the creation yeah
