Like A Bat

Think about New York City, baby
I say, you look so good
I just a, crazy feelin'
Down in my neighbourhood
All your dads gonna buy your cars
Junked in Oldsmobile
Right on, Jaguar
If I make these so bored
Heard 'em?
Everybody go there gonna lay down so bad
You know I'm gonna feel all right
I solely gonna kick down about it
Why don't you come on in my kitchen
Jump upon the stool
And go down the parlor(?)
Don't you be no fool
I wanna suck it
Like a bat, like a bat!
Ahh, yeah!
When that all is over, baby
Here, my things are all right
I wanna do it all over
I'll memorize each and every line
I'm gonna rock 'n' roll you
Oh, do it one more time!
Shucks!
Oh, yeah
I ain't got no world
I'm a lonely fool
I've got the silver rider
The devils baby girl
Get down!
Come on in my kitchen
Jump upon the stool
And go down the parlor(?)
Don't you be no fool
I wanna suck it
Like a bat!
Ahh, I say ain't got no home
I'm a lonely fool
I've got the silver rider
The devil's baby girl
