Mira-Chan's Spot

As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh how I wish he'd go away

Mary had a lamb
with eyes as black as coal
it's teeth gleam red in the moonlight
now Mary's missing a foal.

Ring around the full moon
Servants of a fanged loon
vampryres, vampyres
The world falls down.
