Spoliansky: I am a Vamp!

My bed belonged to Pompadour

Like Lulu I have bright red hair

I dance as well as Salome

And treat my Baptists just as fair

I wear Mata Hari's dress

The ring of Marie Antoinette

The fairest Helen wore this corset

To a gala Trojan fete

I am the poison of the Borgias

I'm a witch like Joan of Arc

I wear the stockings of du Barry

Bathe in coffins for a lark

I am a vamp

I am a vamp

Half woman, half beast

I bite my men and suck them dry

And then I bake them in a pie

I am a vamp

I am a vamp

That's all I can do

I'm not mild mannered like you

And oh no and oh no

My passion takes over and off I go

I should really be kept in a zoo

All that's wild and weird and crazy

I've been known to collect

I have Klemperer's piano

And the cap of Bertold Brecht

I've got Mata Hari's secrets

Wallis Simpson's amethyst

In a frame up on my wall

Hangs a Valentino kiss

It's true that some of my collection

I have found in others' trash

Like the Weimar Constitution

Also Hitler's first mustache

I am a vamp

I am a vamp

Half woman, half beast

I bite my men and suck them dry

And then I bake them in a pie

I am a vamp

I am a vamp

That's all I can do

I'm not mild mannered like you

And oh no and oh no

My passion takes over and off I go

I should really be kept in a zoo

I have a prince to write my letters

Every servant is a count

At the stables King Alfonzo

Helps me get astride my mount

Thomas Mann gives me a facial

Using Garbo's beauty creams

I'm sung to sleep by Richard Talbot

The Prince of Wales is in my dreams
