From the recording Stray Puppets
Vamp Me (M. Polacek)
I really can’t remember where this tune came from except that I had heard someone playing a blues tune at some venue and thought to myself, “Those lyrics aren’t all that interesting. I can write one of them.” So, that thought morphed into vampin’ and loveless passion that hurts so good you will ignore all reason to fulfill the need.
Lyrics
Vamp Me Baby
Vamp me baby, just like you done before
Why don’t you vamp me baby, like a dog on the dance floor
Don’t say your vamping days are gone
You aint vamped everyone
Yet
Your cat eyes momma, are the windows to your soul
Your cat teeth are pretty, wish they’d eat me head to toe
Wish you’d smack me silly
With your kitty lips and even more
You snork like a mackerel, even when you’re not alone [off beat pulse]
I’ve seen you laughing, and vamp comes outta your pie hole [off beat pulse]
I’m a drop in your lake,
An empty suit case and nothing more
Vamp me baby, just like you done before
Why don’t you vamp me baby, like a dog on the dance floor
Don’t say your vamping days are gone
You aint vamped everyone
Yet
I miss your vampin’, like I miss a broken nose
I miss your vampin’, like I miss a glass of coal
I feel your lovin’
Whenever I swallow sharded bone
I still need your vampin’, so please baby don’t you go [off beat pulse]
I know I should treat you, just like a fresh lava flow [off beat pulse]
You melt stone and strong men
But baby please don’t go
Vamp me baby, just like you done before [off beat pulse]
Why don’t you vamp me baby, like a dog on the dance floor [off beat pulse]
Don’t say your vamping days are gone
You aint vamped everyone
Yet
