Song Information:

from '97.

There are several songs of feline and canine appreciation within this site, but I spotted a distinct lack of vespertilian ditties, which I hereby redress.

Song Lyrics:

If I should ever have a pet I know that I should try to get a vampire; and if couldn't manage that I'd like some other nifty bat to admire. I should call him Batty, Batty Bat.
I think that I could wear a cape at night when wand'ring for a jape with Batty. I'd have him hang inside my coat and train him to fly at the throats of baddies. I'd call out to Batty, Batty Bat.
Mayhap I tripped and broke my shoe, and knocked my head and fell into a coma: my friend would twitter as the sad dead heroes in the [i]Iliad[/i] of Homer; he'd summon help and save my skin; I'd thereafter speak to him in gratitude. I'd say: "thank you, thank you dear ol' Batty".
Life is short for all of us upon this vale of tears, and life is even shorter for each little furry friend; come the time, or so I'm told, when we must say farewell, for nothing lasts for ever and thus all good things must end.
Life may be brief but far too short to waste much time upon the thought of dying; I think I should as lief then spend some little time to watch my friend go flying. I'd call out to Batty, Batty Bat.
