lyrics

(scene opens)
Lucy: "Stewart, Stewart i think I've heard a bat"
Stewart: "Don't worry Lucy, I've found the bat! I've got it here in my custody"
Lucy: "Oh I love you Stewart, thank you so much!"

Chorus:
He was a Fat Bat, flyin around
He was a Fat Bat, all over town
He was a Fat Bat, bringin me down
a !#@$^%&*

Wings of torture, teeth of solitude
the Bat, is comin after you
radar scans the altitudes
searchin for bugs, and sometimes fools
Fat Bat's comin after you, Fat Bat's coming after you!

The Bat Flies Away

Bernstein: "What the freak was that? Nelson Hear that?
Sounds like a forkin ghost."
Nelson "Sounds like Mormons"
Bernstein: "We have ghosts in here? Think we have ghost Nelson!
Maybe it's that frickin Bat"

(repeat chorus)

Fat Bat tap tap tappin on your window
He might seem cool, but don't let him in though!
He'll bite you on your neck and you'll know
that a Bat has bit(ten) you!

Lucy: "The Bat is back, the bat is"
Stewart: "Lucy"
Lucy "back"
Stewart: "Lucy where are you?"
Lucy: "aaahhhh!"
Stewart: "oh I see you now"
Lucy: "He's got me Stewart"
Stewart: "Where did he get you?"
Lucy: "Stewart he's got me!"
Lucy: "aaahhhh!"
Stewart: "Lucy where is he?
Is it right here on your bosom?"
Lucy: "I think he's torn out my esophagus, oh!"
Stewart: "oh my Lucy!"
Lucy: "Stewart, what's an esophagus?"
Stewart: "Part of the alimentary canal that connects the throat to the stomach"
