LITTLE SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE

Renfield and Dracula roam through the western U-S-A
Wand'ring the frontier at night, avoiding the day
Until one night they pulled into
A little town called Walnut Grove
All the little
Houses
The prairie holds
All box lunches
For a certain Romanian vampire lord
Renfield and Dracula stop for a while looking for more

Renfield and Dracula roam 'round a town called Walnut Grove, then.
Renfield was chasing down flies while the vampire dove in
With a family called the Ingalls
He decided he would dine that night
Guess he'll fit in
Since he
Doesn't drink
...Wine, that is
But easy streams of screaming
Echo through the night
And Renfield and Dracula leave just before the morning's light

In his home soil
The vampire sleeps
Hours drag by like years
As Renfield bleats
When he wakes at the fall of night
The both find they're in for a fight...

Renfield and Dracula roam 'round the wild frontier no more
They had no idea just what Reverend Alden had in store
Who do you think he had called off for
When he heard of the poor Ingalls' fate?
The vampire
Hunter
Van Helsing
Once again
Maybe this time he'll finish
What he tried before
And Renfield and Dracula will roam 'round the world no more
