about

A very popular song about the New Zealand native bat fly.
Very catchy and hilarious with a Latin beat.
A fun way to get kids into conservation.

lyrics

I like eating guano
From a short tailed bat
So what if I like guano
I like it for a snack
There’s nothing like guano
From a bat, a short tailed little bat

Chorus: What about the bat fly?
B B B B Bat fly
Who will save the bat Fly?
Me

I’m a wingless bat fly
Fly without a wing
So what if I am wingless
I live upon a bat
Deep inside the black fur
Of a bat, a short tailed little bat

Chorus:

I won’t see you later
Because I am blind
So what if I have no eyes
And everything is black
I love too zing a bat fly song
On the back of a short tailed little bat

And I
I cannot see
I cannot fly
Yet I
I will travel throught the sky
On the back, on the back
Of a short tailed bat

Chorus:
