Vampire Bunnies by Blake Hodgetts Lyrics
The stars are just emerging on the coverlet of night
And on the west horizon, I see Venus burning bright
I love this time of evening, when the crickets start to call
But there's work I must attend to, as the shadows gently fall
To all of my surroundings, I must pay most careful heed
As I approach the hutches, for it's nearly time to feed
I shudder to imagine their gnawing hunger pangs
Those tiny little bunnies, with tiny little fangs
(CHORUS:)
And the vampire bunnies are restless tonight
And their eyes, erubescent, are faintly aglow
And they're boring right through me, unblinking
And I worry how much they've been drinking
And the unholy thoughts that they're thinking
I don't want to know....
No, don't let me know
It's a mystery where they came from, and they're not a common breed
And maybe, if I'd known at first, I'd never have agreed
But somehow it seems right to raise these rabbits on my farm
To guard them with my life, to see that nothing brings them harm
(CHORUS:)
And the vampire bunnies are restless tonight
And their eyes, erubescent, are faintly aglow
And they're boring right through me, unblinking
And I worry how much they've been drinking
And the unholy thoughts that they're thinking
I don't want to know....
No, don't let me know
I started with a pair, and they have done much more than thrive
Indentured to their care, I bring them all of their prey alive
It's very disconcerting, the rate at which they grow
And they multiply like—well, you probably know
They prick their velvet ears up as they gather for the kill
And they twitch their little noses as they drink their thirsty fill
Their fur is soft and fluffy, but it’s clammy to the touch
And their eyes give me the willies, so I don’t pet them much
I’ve tried to be suspicious, but they’re just so doggone cute
And the question of their provenance is fast becoming moot
The more I keep their bellies full, the more they reproduce
And I’m running out of hutch space; soon, I’ll have to turn them loose
(CHORUS:)
And the vampire bunnies are restless tonight
And their eyes, erubescent, are faintly aglow
And they're boring right through me, unblinking
And I worry how much they've been drinking
And the unholy thoughts that they're thinking
I don't want to know....
No, don't let me know
Oh, dear God, no…
