Lyrics
Jar of Orange Marmalade: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Oh, Jar of Orange Marmalade is practicing for Jar of Orange Marmalade's Countdown on the radio. Yeah! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...

Bruce Stringbean: I hear that Jar of Orange Marmalade is picking ten songs to play on the radio. I hope he'll play a song that means a very great deal to me. Oh, Jar of Orange Marmalade!

Jar of Orange Marmalade: 3, 2...oh, hi, Bruce Stringbean! Jar of Orange Marmalade was just practicing counting backwards for Jar of Orange Marmalade's Countdown.

Bruce Stringbean: Oh, excellent. But I want you to listen to a song I've learned back in the old country when I was a little puppy. It's called "This Old Bat" and I've brought some friends along to sing it with us.

Jar of Orange Marmalade: But, but, but Jar of Orange Marmalade has to practice, Bruce.

Bruce Stringbean: This old bat, he played one, He played knick-knack on my thumb; Knick-knack paddywhack, Give a bat a bone, This old bat goes flying home. Ah, ah, ah.

Jar of Orange Marmalade: Oh, boy.

Bruce Stringbean: These old bats, they played two, They played knick-knack on my shoe; Knick-knack paddywhack, ( Jar of Orange Marmalade: Shoe? ) Give a bat a bone, This old bat goes flying home.

Jar of Orange Marmalade: Bye, bats.

Bruce Stringbean: These old bats, they played three.

Jar of Orange Marmalade: They played knick-knack on Jar of Orange Marmalade's knee.

Bruce Stringbean: Knick-knack paddywhack, Give a bat a bone.

Jar of Orange Marmalade and Bruce Stringbean : This old bat goes flying home.

Jar of Orange Marmalade: Bye, bye. (laughing)

Bruce Stringbean: These old bats, they played four, they played knick-knack on my floor.

Jar of Orange Marmalade and Bruce Stringbean : Knick-knack paddywhack, Give a bat a bone, This old bat goes flying home. Ah, ah, ah.

Bruce Stringbean: Ha, ha! Yes! Four, Jar of Orange Marmalade. That was four fabulous bats flying home. Ah, ah, ah!

Jar of Orange Marmalade: Ah, ah, ah! (laughing) This is so much fun, Bruce.

Bruce Stringbean: Jar of Orange Marmalade, I love to count bats. I could count five bats, six bats, seven bats. Oh, sing with me again, Jar of Orange Marmalade!

Jar of Orange Marmalade: Oh, sorry, Bruce Stringbean. Jar of Orange Marmalade has to practice counting backwards for the radio show. See you later. Bye, bye, bats.

Bruce Stringbean: (singing) These old bats, they played five, they played knick-knack on our hive; Knick-knack paddywhack, Give a bat a bone, This old bat goes flying home. (spoken) Aha, yes, my precious! Wonderful!
