Batty Rap on vivisection from Ferngully
Yo, the name is Batty The logic is erratic, Potato in a jacket, Toys in the attic, I rock and I ramble, My brain is scrambled, Rap like an animal but I'm a mammal I been brain-fried, electrified, infected and injectified, Vivosectified and fed pesticides, My face is all cut up My radar's all shut up Nurse I need a check-up from the neck up, I'm Batty It seems to have no effect doctor They used and abused me, Battered and bruised me, Red wires green wires stuck em' right through me, So hear my Batty word, And excersise a little prudence, When dealing with humans, *people talking* Phone call Mr Darwin All the graduate students please move closer.. scapel, more nitrous oxide The eye makeup when inserted rectly seems to have some effect Remove the brain cap You notice by dipping the bat in a series of pain.. After a 6 hundred packs of cigeretts The animal seems to exhibit some.. I said orally OMG I'm reading by my genitals Insert the electro.. we're losing him Seems to have no effect doctor Wait, get me another one.. get me another animal! Look professor they dance up and down just like elvis Fine, strap him down, if he moves medicate him, Medicate him, medicate me! Seems to have no effect doctor Thank you nurse, Why don't you ever call me? *people talking* Doesn't seem like animals comprehend any pain, They just get used to it! Cause I'm a real fruit bat and I'm ready to rap, I'm ready to snap, I suffer from sciatica and chapped lips, And jock itch, Like a rocket in my pocket and a need to scratch, But now I can't stop it, I'm Batty... I'm a real fruit bat and my logic is erratic, I'm Batty... Its my batty rap Shave his head its just and animal! My batty rap.. If you just take a little off the sides Who's Batty? Moi
