BAT SONG 

(This Song was written in 2009 for a dramatised Rap Music & Dance Group in Rural South Africa. They wanted an amusing song with a message incorporating an unusual rural image. It unfortunately was not performed on stage, but the young teenage group had great fun practicing the drama-song.)

[TWO CHORUSES]

She tried to fly
was too blind 
Up she went, fell, fell
flapping webbed wings
in a dirty night

[CHORUS 1 

Dark dank night
Not knowing when
not knowing what 
Blind bat, bland bat 
blank bat]

On electric pylons rested
she was persecuted, prostituted 
they stalked her, sallied her
stoned her
in a dirty night

[CHORUS 1 

Dark dank night
Not knowing when
not knowing what 
Blind bat, bland bat 
blank bat]

Sirens screeched, screamed 
What are you ?! Who are you ?!
you simpleton sleazy bat
we will slice your wings
in a dirty night

[CHORUS 1 

Dark dank night
Not knowing when
not knowing what 
Blind bat, bland bat 
blank bat]

THEN came beckoning 
Bella, Bella, Bella !
abating abating
up on electric bars
a fast bat out of bell
out of bell 
not batting a lid
singing batwing 
snippets

[CHORUS 2

Velvet night, vortex night
knowing when, knowing what 
bold belly bat ! 
bold belly bat ! ]

No fear she fluttered and flew 
I’m flaunting soaring strange
no slicing webbed wings ordained 
me no belittling blind
crazy as a dime 

[CHORUS 2

Velvet night, vortex night
knowing when, knowing what 
bold belly bat !
bold belly bat ! ]

A scavenger slunk away
sirens slipped into sewers
cities in distress
raised up their brows at
beckoning bats doing 
a bogey woogy 
doing a bogey woogy
a batty bogey woogy 


[CHORUS 2

Velvet night, vortex night
knowing when, knowing what 
bold belly bat !
bold belly bat !  ]
