Batty Rap
Robin Williams Lyrics

Yo, the name is Batty
Hello, I am Batty and this is my introduction.

The logic is erratic, Potato in a jacket, Toys in the attic
My thinking is unpredictable and my behavior is strange, as if I have a potato for a brain and my mind is cluttered like an attic full of toys.

I rock and I ramble, My brain is scrambled, Rap like an animal but I'm a mammal
I move and talk in a wild and crazy way because my mind is confused, but I still have a human body even though I rap like an animal.

I been brain-fried, electrified, infected and injectified, Vivosectified and fed pesticides, My face is all cut up, My radar's all shut up, Nurse I need a check-up from the neck up, I'm Batty
I have been through a lot of trauma like being shocked, infected, and experimented on. I am injured and disoriented, and need medical help to heal my mental state.

It seems to have no effect doctor They used and abused me, Battered and bruised me, Red wires green wires stuck em' right through me, So hear my Batty word, And exercise a little prudence, When dealing with humans,
Despite all the treatment I've been subjected to, nothing seems to work. Humans have been cruel to me and need to be more cautious and considerate in their actions towards animals.

All the graduate students please move closer scapel, more nitrous oxide, The eye makeup when inserted rectly seems to have some effect, Remove the brain cap, You notice by dipping the bat in a series of pain, After six hundred packs of cigarettes The animal seems to exhibit some I said orally, OMG I'm reading by my genitals, Insert the electro we're losing him, Seems to have no effect doctor, Wait, get me another one get me another animal!, Look professor they dance up and down just like elvis, Fine, strap him down, if he moves medicate him, Medicate him, medicate me!, Seems to have no effect doctor
These lines describe the inhumane methods of animal experimentation and the researchers' attempts to find something that works. Despite trying various harmful methods, nothing seems to have a lasting effect.

Thank you nurse, Why don't you ever call me?
The nurse is thanked, but there is a hint of loneliness and sarcasm in the line, as Batty is a lonely creature and longs for human interaction.

Doesn't seem like animals comprehend any pain, They just get used to it!
Animals may not understand pain in the same way humans do, but that does not mean they should be subjected to it. They should not have to just 'get used to it.'

'Cause I'm a real fruit bat and I'm ready to rap, I'm ready to snap, I suffer from sciatica and chapped lips, And jock itch, Like a rocket in my pocket and a need to scratch, But now I can't stop it, I'm Batty
This final verse is Batty's declaration that he is a real bat and ready to party despite his physical ailments. He is quirky and eccentric but unashamedly himself.
