"Hi," said the little leatherwing bat,
"I'll tell you the reason that,
The reason that I fly by night,
Is because I lost my heart's delight."
(chorus)
Howdy dowdy diddle um-day,
Howdy dowdy diddle um-day,
Howdy dowdy diddle um-day,
Hey li-lee lee-lye li-lo.
"Hi," said the blackbird, sitting on a chair,
Howdy dowdy diddle um-day,
Howdy dowdy diddle um-day,
Howdy dowdy diddle um-day,
Hey li-lee lee-lye li,Hey li-lee lee-lye li-lo.
