The leather-winged bat lyrics

Hi, said the little leather-winged bat,

I will tell you the reason that,

The reason that I fly in the night:

I’ve lost my heart’s delight.

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum,

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh day

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum

Diddle Diddle dum! Dah day oh…

Hi, said the woodpecker sittin’ on the fence,

Once I caught me a handsome wench,

She got sassy and from me fled,

and ever since then: my head’s been red!

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum,

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh day,

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum,

Diddle Diddle dum! Dah day oh…

Hi, said the bluebird as he flew,

Once I caught me a young girl, too,

She got sassy and wanted to go–

So I tied a new string to my bow.

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum,

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh day,

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum,

Diddle Diddle dum! Dah day oh…

Hi, said the robin as he flew,

When I was a young man, I’d court, too,

If a one didn’t love me, the other one would,

Now, don’t you think my notion’s good?

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum,

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh day,

High-oh day-oh diddle-oh dum,

Diddle Diddle dum! Dah day oh…
