Chorus:

When Mister Sun disappears at evening,
And it's as dark as a little black cat;
Under the stars and the moonlit shadows,
Flying around is a little brown bat.
She has flown away from her perch,
From the belfry up in the church.
Oh, the lady's out on a search
For the one who left her in the lurch.
She'll get around by a radar system
That tells a bat where another bat's at.
All through the night she'll be flap-flap-flapping
After the bat who's been leaving her flat.
Flip, flip, flip-flipty-flipty-flip.
Flap, flap, flap-flapty-flapty-flap.
She knows the one she loves is ratty,
That's what drives this poor bat batty.
Why is love so cruel?
Why is she a fool?
If you would like all the well-known answers
The you'd better ask the bat, the bat, 
The poor little, brown little bat.
