Cape Cod Silly Willy by Kalikala Smith"Fruit"
Well there's an interesting...
"Bat"
Now wait a minute..
"Fruit Bat"
Well what is that?
Some strange little noise and a rat-a-tat-tat.
"Fruit"
There it is again...
"Bat"
Now just a second...
"Fruit Bat"
Is it true?
Some strange weird phrase and a do-be-do-do.
It is a song you don't
hear much every day
Fruit Bat
is what you have to say.
