lyrics

The air is cool, the ground is warm and dry
Away is every bee and butterfly
Yet flowers bloom so fragrant in the night
In brightest shades of yellow and of white

The nectar bats can smell them from afar
And closer by, find echoes where they are
To visit for a moment brief and sweet
Then off to cross the desert and repeat

This desert night
Between the sunset and sunrise is
Full of life
And silly sweet surprises

Meanwhile, another bat goes buzzing by
And swoops down for a scorpion to try
No trouble for this big-eared little fluff
But maybe not adventurous enough

Why not try what the nectar bats prefer?
Up flies the furry flavor connoisseur
Head first into the pollen, what a mess
And that's the bat who pollinates the best

This desert night
Between the sunset and sunrise is
Full of life
And silly sweet surprises
This desert night
Between the sunset and sunrise is
Full of life
And silly sweet surprises
This desert night
This desert life
This desert night
This desert life
This desert night
This desert life
This desert life
