When I'm not writing drinking and losing love and going to prison songs, I'm writing a childrens' album. In theory. (Hopefully, this will make up for the next song I'm working on which is about children, but it is NOT a song FOR children...)

I hope you enjoy it. All comments and suggestions are welcomed!

Billy the 1-Wing Bat


BILLY THE 1-WING BAT

Fall will last a little bit, winter not much more
Spring flies in the window, and runs right out the door
Summer comes one day, and gets up with the sun
Wakes you up real early saying, “Let’s go have some fun!”

Donny was a puppy dog who liked to bark and play
Frannie was a little frog, she looked for flies all day
Billy was a silly bat, and he liked everything
He flew around in circles ‘cause, he only had 1 wing

(CHORUS)
Round and round Billy’d fly, wherever they would go
and if that ever bothered them, they never let him know
Friends who stick together,
are friends and friends forever
Donny Dog and Frannie Frog and Billy…the 1-wing Bat…,
He’s a 1-wing bat!

One day the three were playing, out near the candy trees
Although their moms had warned them,
“Monsters live in these... TREEEES!”
Sure enough a big one came, and grabbed them with a crunch
put them in a tiny cage, said “I just made lunch…”

Billy squeezed between the bars, and fluttered on his wing
Made that monster angry, he yelled out monster things
Billy could have flown away, but he flew instead
around and round, and round and round
around-and-round-and-round-and-round
(I know, it’s a lot of arounds…the kids like it…)
around that monster’s head!!!!

WELL THE…
Monster got so dizzy, that his eyes began to shake
Billy bit his ear off, his friends made their escape
The monster ran off crying, and he never reappeared
Billy spit the blood out, but he kept that monster’s ear

(CHORUS)

NOW KIDS….
The moral of the story, is when you’re far from home
stay away from monsters, they want to boil your bones
And if a big one comes your way, and will not let you pass
You fly around his monster head
And you bite him on the ear

(CHORUS) (END)
