Batty Bat

In old Transylvania, when I was a lad

Our castle was cold, yet 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

One, two, three, count

One, two, three, count

One, two, three, count

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

Come, we try again

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

One, two, three, count

One, two, three, count

One, two, three, count

Dance with me, doing the batty bat
