Ohio Town Saved From Killer Bees By Hungry Vampire Bats Lyrics

It used to seem so wonderful
To sit out in the breeze
Until the town was overrun
By stinging killer bees
The stinging pests
Were unwelcome guests
They had the town unnerved
'Til the mayor imported vampire bats
And announced that dinner was served
On the edge of town
Hanging upside down
From each limb of every tree
Sway giant, dangerous vampire bats
With their bellies full of bees
But now they've got to find a way
To rid the town of bats
So, they're thinking of importing
Hungry rabid mountain cats

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
