♫ 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
