[MF]  I'm Vincent, the vegetable vampire.
In the nighttime, when tomatoes start to scream,

It's only Vincent, the vegetable vampire,

Sleeping in the garden of your dreams.

From vitamins I get my vim and vigor.

And vegetables have vitamins.  That's right.

So Vincent, the vegetable vampire,

Comes sleeping in your garden at night.

If I see a squash, I squash it,

And drink the juice right in.

If I see a cucumber, deep in sleep and slumber,

I bite right through its skin.

I'm Vincent, the vegetable vampire.

At nighttime, when potatoes close their eyes,

Then Vincent, the vegetable vampire,

Comes and takes them by surprise.

By moonlight I stalk the celery,

And turn the turnips to pulp.

Whatever I may catch gets squeezed for juice, and natch,

I drink it all down in one gulp.

I'm Vincent, the vegetable vampire.

In the nighttime, when tomatoes start to scream,

It's only Vincent, the vegetable vampire,

Sleeping in the garden of your dreams.
