The Batty Bat

In old Transylvania when I was a lad Our castle was poor but we never were sad We learned to be happy We'd dance round the hall And learning to count was the key to it all By counting each count I knew just where to start And one special step has stayed close to my heart One two three, spread out the cape One two three, twirl round the floor One two three, left foot you swing One two three, then start to sing One two three, loud as you please One two three, counting with ease One two three, doing the batty bat Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat One two three count Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat Won't you dance with me doing the batty bat So now in my own castle I can enjoy This wonderful dance that I learned as a boy I see just how wise was my whole family They taught me to count and so now look at me I'm counting and dancing and I swear that it's true If you do the same you will be happy too One two three, spread out the cape One two three, twirl round the floor One two three, left foot you swing One two three, then start to sing One two three, loud as you please One two three, counting with ease One two three, doing the batty bat Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat One two three count Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat Won't you dance with me doing the batty bat
