[BAT BOY, spoken]
What is it that people... say about me?
[DR. PARKER, spoken]
People can be very cruel
[BAT BOY]
But I'm not here to harm them
I only want to learn
They all walk in sunlight
I deserve a turn
I want to know my neighbours
I'm not some garden gnome
Why can't I make this world my home?
[BAT BOY, spoken]
It's torture to sit here idly while I'm being slandered in public
I can only imagine what they are saying
[DR. PARKER, spoken]
We're not saying that you can't go out sometime, just not -
[BAT BOY]
Something was troubling me recently
Watching the world from this table
Reading and dreaming
And gen'rally growing mold...
But today I looked up
Just in time to see
This medical program on cable
Astonished, I ran to the mirror and there, behold!
Look here, I've got a navel!
...It means I'm someone's child
The doctor must have tied it
While my mother smiled...
Which means I may be human
Complete with family tree
And if you let me go and see
This world may be a home for... me!
