His name is Johnny and he does not fear the night
He does not fear the night for the night is only lies
Johnny knows that there is nothing scary in the night
The only thing that you must fear is Johnny
The poor boy’s name is Johnny and he only fears the Bat
He only fears the Bat for the Bat is never lies
Johnny knows the only thing that’s scary is the Bat
But there is one thing Johnny fears, and you should fear it too
Oh yes, poor Johnny fears the Bat
And you should fear him too
