Lyrics
- Every Vampire I ever met
Always had jet black hair
Eyes the same, lips a-flame
Seemed to say, “Beware”
So, I picked an innocent blond
She is beyond compare
Still I’m in distress for I must confess
That she’s not treating me fair
Chorus
She’s just a blue-eyed, blond haired
Heart-breaking baby doll, that’s all
She’s got my heart a-bouncing like a rubber ball
More times than I can tell
I’ve wished her “Fare thee well”
But next day surer than fate
I’m there at her gate a-ringing the bell
She’s got that “on the level”
“Cute little devil” way, and say
She could make a town like Philadelphia gay
She’s in my dreams every night until dawn
But when I wake in the morning she’s gone
She’s just a blue-eyed, blond-haired
Heart-breaking baby doll, that’s all
- I remember my Father said
“When you see red, beware”
So, when girls with red curls
Passed me, I took care
Now I wish Dad had put me wise
To girls with eyes of blue
But he didn’t tell so, I went and fell
Because I thought Daddy knew
