Name: Bonus Track - Betty Bat
Duration: P00H01M22S
Description: Originally, Betty Bat appeared in the show. For time and focus, she was cut. I had hoped to do it with young hiphop dancers, so the tune was recorded for their practice. Hopefully, someday, Betty will have a show of her own!

lyrics

Well, we look a little scary n' we always fly by night
But you don’t have to worry ‘cause it’s only bugs we bite
We catch ‘em 'n we munch ‘em, no need for pesticide
Eat half our weight each night in bugs n' take it all in stride

Beetles and grasshoppers eatin’ all your corn and cotton
Mosquitoes carry viruses that make you feel rotten
We grab 'em still or flying with ecolocation
Then 3 to 6 months-long-in-winter s'time for hibernation
Fly 50 miles an hour 'n can live for 30 years
But we dyin’ from a fungus so we need y'all to hear

If you come into our caves
You interrupt our sleep
And bring in icky fungus
That you'll track in with yo' feet

Now here in West Seattle,
New homes would mighty please us
Could ya' build us dark houses
N' help save us from diseases?
High up off the ground, let’s say some 15 feet or so
L'help eachother not be sick n' eat n' grow
Now I say that's only fair,
Cause we're eatin' all your gnats
Us flyin' mammals in the air
By name of . . . bats!
