Lyrics
Crimson Chin: 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

[He begins to waltz about the room.]

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!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Crimson Chin: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Crimson Chin: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Crimson Chin: One, two, three, count! Won’t you dance with me, doing the batty bat?

[speaking]

Ah, my happy childhood in the Carpathian mountains! How well I remember!

[singing]

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!

[speaking]

Come! We try again!

[He resumes waltzing and singing]

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!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Crimson Chin: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Crimson Chin: One, two, three, count!

Bats: Batty, batty bat; batty bat; batty bat; batty bat!

Crimson Chin: One, two, three, count! Won’t you dance with me, doing the batty bat?

[speaking] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Batty bat.

Yes, yes.

[singing]

Won’t you dance with me, doing the batty bat? Batty bat! Ha ha!

Batty batty bat.

Oh, come dance with me doing the batty bat.
