Chords with lyrics
Key: G#m
♫ Verse 1:
Cm F
I met this bloke who looked like a goth
A# D#
But soon found out that he was not
Cm D
He was a genuine count from Transylvannia
G G7 Ddim7
He said, "Marry me, that's where I'll take ya"
Cm F
To a ruined castle on top of a cliff
A# D#
Where the air's so cold it would freeze your tits
Cm D
And there he taught me how to fly
G G7 Ddim7
Two lovers together in a purple sky
♫ Chorus:
Cm F
And we had bats for dinner and bats for tea
A# D#
Bats for him and bats for me
Cm D
A big fat rat for Sunday roast
G G7 Ddim7
For breakfast, we had bats on toast
Cm F
And when the cooking became a chore
A# D#
We'd just chop them up and eat them raw
Cm D
Or open a window facing south
G G7 Ddim7
And let them fly straight in our mouths
♫ Bridge:
Cm F
Bats for dinner, bats for tea
A# D#
Bats for dinner, bats for tea
Cm D
Bats for dinner, bats for tea
G G7 Ddim7
Bats for tea
Cm F
Bats for dinner, bats for tea
A# D#
Bats for dinner, bats for tea
Cm D
Bats for dinner, bats for tea
G G7 Ddim7
Bats for tea
♫ Verse 2:
Cm F
The neighbours didn't like us much
A# D#
They seemed to bear some sort of a grudge
Cm D
Attacked the castle with flaming torches
G G7 Ddim7
Burned the stables and stole the Porsches
Cm F
Then the local vicar, a miserable tart
A# D#
Stuck a wooden stake through my boyfriend's heart
Cm D
I escaped but I'm alone again
G G7 Ddim7
In a one-room flat in Sydenham
♫ Chorus:
Cm F
And there's no bats for dinner, no bats for tea
A# D#
No bats from the caves or the belfry
Cm D
It's peas and cabbage for Sunday roast
G G7 Ddim7
Or if I'm lucky, beans on toast
Cm F
And when the cooking becomes a chore
A# D#
I just chop them up and eat them raw
Cm D
And think about of how things used to be
G G7 Ddim7
When there was just my count and me
♫ Verse 3:
Cm F
There's no fairytale castles in the sky
A# D#
But the room's so cold, it would make you cry
Cm D
And still sometimes at night I fly
G G7 Ddim7
Over London's dark grey sky
Cm F
And think of him in another world
A# D#
And hope he's waiting for his girl
Cm D
One day, united we will be
G G7 Ddim7
Together forever for eternity
♫ Chorus:
Cm F
And there'll be bats for dinner and bats for tea
A# D#
Bats for him and bats for me
Cm D
A big fat rat for Sunday roast
G G7 Ddim7
For breakfast we'll have bats on toast
Cm F
And when the cooking became a chore
A# D#
We'd just chop them up and eat them raw
Cm D
Or open a window facing south
G G7 Ddim7
And let them fly straight in our mouths
