Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat!

Lewis Carroll 1832 (Daresbury) – 1898 (Guildford)



" -- -- it was at the great concert given by the
Queen of Hearts, and I had to sing
  `Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
  How I wonder what you're at!'You know the song, perhaps?" "I've heard something like it," said Alice. "It goes on, you know," the Hatter continued,
"in this way: -- --
  `Up above the world you fly,
  Like a teatray in the sky.
      Twinkle, twinkle --'"
