THE BAT

Lo! the Bat with the leathern wing,
Winking and blinking,
Winking and blinking,
Winking and blinking,
Like Dr Johnson.

O ho! said Dr. Johnson
To Scipio Africanus,
A ha! to Dr. Johnson
Said Scipio Africanus,
if you dont own me a philosopher
ill kick youre Roman anus
O ha! said Dr Johnson to Scippio Africanus lift up my Roman petticoat and kiss my Roman anus
Oh oh oh oh
Oh my poor sides

i should die if i was live here oh oh oh
farasobora farasobora ah ah ah farasobora
this frog he would a wooing ride
kitty alone kitty alone
this frog he would a wooing ride
sing cock i carry kitty alone kitty alone and i

low the bat with the leathern wing
Winking and blinking
Winking and blinking
Winking and blinking
Like Dr Johnson

oh oh oh oh oh my poor sides
iii should die if i was to live here oh oh oh farasobora farasobora farasobora

as i walked forth one may morning
to see the fields so pleasant and so gay

oh there did i find a young maiden so sweet among the violets that smell so sweet oh so sweet

hang youre violets heres some rum and water

Lo! the Bat with the leathern wing
Winking and blinking
Winking and blinking
Winking and blinking
like Dr Johnson
