Bat Song

Five Batty Bats

Five batty bats
Were hanging 'neath the moon.

"Quiet!" said the first.
"The Witch is coming soon."

"She's green," said the second.
"With a purple pointy nose."

"Black boots," said the third,
"Cover up her hairy toes."

"Her broom," said the fourth,
"Can scratch you--that I know."

"I'm scared," said the fifth,
"I think we'd better go."

Five batty bats
Escaped into the night.

"Dear me," said the witch.
"That's a scary sight!"
