## Lyrics

**[MINA]**

Dearest Lucy

I know it's been too long

Things in Budapest are curious and wrong

I'm so lonely without my friend

I don't know how this story ends

**[LUCY (MINA)]**

Dearest Mina

I truly miss you so

Where has the time gone, It feels so long ago

We both had London at our feet

But now there someone I want you to meet

He’s tall

And he's handsome (ohh)

He’s held my heart ransom

He takes me to places that i've never been (that’s so great)

He’s graceful and stately (oh, posh!)

He dresses ornately (Mm-hmm)

HIs reflection a sight unseen (yеah I just really wanted some advicе on..oh!)

**[BOTH]**

Oh, seasons change and life gets messy

Though it all you’ll still be my bestie

It’s true - we will be friends till the end

**[MINA]**

Dearest Lucy

I'm having second thoughts

Things with Jonathan have me tied up in knots-

Did I rush into this too soon?

I long for a reason to swoon!

**[LUCY (MINA)]**

Dearest Mina

I know just how you feel!

When it comes to Jonathan, I don’t see the appeal

Because my man is where it’s at!

Last night he turned into a bat!

We dance in the moonlight! (wait)

He’s cooler than frostbite!

**[MINA]**

Did you just say he turned into a bat?

**[LUCY]**

Yes! He gives a mean backrub, He’s pale as a bathtub…

**[MINA]**

Bathtub? Oh, so I guess we’re just moving on from that..?

**[BOTH]**

Through thick and thin, we’ve seen it all together

Though we’re different, we’re birds(bats) of a feather, it’s true!

**[LUCY (MINA)]**

We will be friends till the end! (what is- what is your thing with bats?)

**[LUCY]**

Oh Mina!

My goodness! I’ve been so self-absorbed

I’ve been going on and on and on

Now tell me what has you so dour and drawn?

**[MINA]**

Oh, Lucy, I’m broken!

My Jonathan has changed!

His mind seems oh so far away

And not only that, but his hair is turning gray!

**[LUCY]**

Oh, my dear! How gross!

I wish you had a man like mine

With wolfish hair, so debonair

Despite his age which is 468!

He lives in a castle with three wives

And nom-noms babies all day long!

**[LUCY, spoken]**

Well, all night, technically, can’t do garlic though

**[MINA]**

Dearest Lucy

I’m growing quite concerned

About these terrifying things that I've just learned!

Are you sure that he’s the one?

If I were you, I think I would run!

**[LUCY]**

Dearest Mina

What a thing for you to say!

At least my boyfriend isn’t going gray!

The Count has stalked his claim on me

With him I finally feel free!

He sleeps in a coffin

He drinks blood quite often…

We’re going antiquing on Thursday!

**[MINA]**

He seems like a devil

Not quite on your level

But if you’re happy then I'll meet you halfway!

**[BOTH]**

Oh, blood is sweet, but friendship is thicker

Life is fast, but death’s often quicker

I’m glad that we’ll be friends ‘till the end!

**[BOTH, plus Jonathan and the Count for the third la’s]**

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la l a

La la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la
