Lyrics

When people see us they get the creeps
They think we?re scary and gross and mean
So on Halloween we?re in lots of books
And masks and napkins and costumes of course
But, we?re not as bad as people like to think
We?re just trying to get by, if you know what I mean

We?re singing the black cats, spiders, and bats blues.

You see a black cat arching her back
And make sure you don?t cross her path
You see a spider climbing in the air
And run away or hide behind a chair
You hope you never see a bat
Except in a zoo and that?s as close as you get

We?re singing the black cats, spiders, and bats blues.

[talking blues]
I don?t know why we have such a bad rap
Black cats are loyal just like other cats
And spiders use their spinerettes and legs
To make thread and spin incredible webs
and bats are small and really smart
they use echoes and smell to find things in the dark

Black cats can be really nice
They make great pets and purr just right
Spiders eat lots of insects and bugs
You know those bugs you?d don?t want to find in your rug
And bats are just flying mice
Some eat fruit and that?s kind of nice.

Black cats, spiders, and bats blues
Black cats, spiders, and bats
Black cats, spiders, and bats.
Please, won?t you love us, please.
