BAT SONG

BAT SONG (This Song was written in 2009 for a dramatised Rap Music & Dance Group in Rural South Africa. They wanted an amusing song with a message incorporating an unusual rural image. It unfortunately was not performed on stage, but the young teenage group had great fun practicing the drama-song.) [TWO CHORUSES] She tried to fly was too blind Up she went, fell, fell flapping webbed wings in a dirty night [CHORUS 1 Dark dank night Not knowing when not knowing what Blind bat, bland bat blank bat] On electric pylons rested she was persecuted, prostituted they stalked her, sallied her stoned her in a dirty night [CHORUS 1 Dark dank night Not knowing when not knowing what Blind bat, bland bat blank bat] Sirens screeched, screamed What are you ?! Who are you ?! you simpleton sleazy bat we will slice your wings in a dirty night [CHORUS 1 Dark dank night Not knowing when not knowing what Blind bat, bland bat blank bat] THEN came beckoning Bella, Bella, Bella ! abating abating up on electric bars a fast bat out of bell out of bell not batting a lid singing batwing snippets [CHORUS 2 Velvet night, vortex night knowing when, knowing what bold belly bat ! bold belly bat ! ] No fear she fluttered and flew I’m flaunting soaring strange no slicing webbed wings ordained me no belittling blind crazy as a dime [CHORUS 2 Velvet night, vortex night knowing when, knowing what bold belly bat ! bold belly bat ! ] A scavenger slunk away sirens slipped into sewers cities in distress raised up their brows at beckoning bats doing a bogey woogy doing a bogey woogy a batty bogey woogy [CHORUS 2 Velvet night, vortex night knowing when, knowing what bold belly bat ! bold belly bat ! ] ©GhairoDanielsPoetry &Song2009
