Vampire of the Night

Vampire of the Night I went to bed last night hoping for sweet slumber But a tiny little insect had totally got my number As my eyes were about to close and sleep was just in reach It began to buzz and buzz its nasty little speech No sleep tonight, no sleep at all is the forecast that I write 'Cos I'm hungry, I need blood and it's you I'm gonna bite I like to buzz, it's lots of fun, I love to be annoying 'Cos I know that your pleasant dreams I'm totally destroying You attempt to swat me in the dark and only slap your face 'Cos in the darkness of the night I'm very hard to place Wearily, so wearily you stumble to turn on the light Yet still you can't see me, oh no no no, although it's very bright You return to bed, a wretched soul, perhaps I've gone away But then you hear my little buzz, and know you're still my prey I am the vampire of the night, and on your blood I'll feast Gee I can cause some havoc for such a tiny little beast (Sydney, Australia 2010) Alessandra Liverani
