transylvania's where they come from
and they sure do come
i hope it ain't after me
bitin' necks is how they do it
and it don't feel so good
cause when they're doin' it, it bleeds

they give ya bat scratch fever...bat scratch fever

that thirsty timeless rotter was a thousand years old
he killed off all the people next door
he climbed back in his coffin
after all the uproar
till he was hungry once more

they give ya bat scratch fever...bat scratch fever

they're something dangerous
they'll cause you pain
your chemistry will change
you'll know they got you
when bat blood fills your veins
it makes you grow wings...flyin'...flyin'
you are worse than dead

i hope that don't occur
i keep a stake in my hand
they'll know they're gettin' it from me
the heart is where it goes
and it will terminate plans
they're gone for eternity

they give ya bat scratch fever...bat scratch fever
