Lyrics[]
When you're down in Transylvania
And the night begins to fall
You might get to feeling lonely
If you do give me a call
Just dial Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The Count: (conducting the orchestra) 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, oh yeah!
It gets cold in Transylvania
And the winter nights are long
I'll come by and you'll feel warmer
Dial the number from this song
Just dial Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The Count: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ...
Lillian: (spoken) Count! Stop at 5!
The Count: Oh, I'm sorry, Lillian, you know how I get once I get started.
Lillian: I've got one more verse, try to get it right!
It's dark in Transylvania
And the wolves begin to moan
And if it sounds too scary
You can call me on the phone
Just dial, come on, everyone!
Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Transylvania 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The Count: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 ...
Lillian: (spoken) Count! The song stops at 5. How many times do I have to tell you that?
The Count: Only one ... no, two, ... make that three times .... four times .... five times would be perfect .... six would be wonderful ... but, seven, if you could see your way through to ... eight …
