The Batty Bat Lyrics - Sesame Street

In old Transylvania when I was a lad 

Our castle was poor but 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 

Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat 

One two three count 

Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat 

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 

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 

Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat 

One two three count 

Batty batty bat batty bat batty bat batty bat 

Won't you dance with me doing the batty bat
