Differences with the final song:
- Slight lyrical changes, with "a thing" instead of "zilch" and "but" instead of "'cept"
- "They've crossed the line, it's time to fight them back! " switched to "These bats they simply don't know how to act"
- Musical change: the notes after "total disaster" don't fall as quickly

Lyrics (adapted from MLP wiki):

Those vampire bats will give you a fright 
Eating apples both day and night 
They rest for a minute, maybe three 
Then they're eatin' every apple in your apple tree 

They don't care about nada, not [a thing], no, nothin' 
[But] bringin' about an orchard's destruction 

Now wait just a minute, there's another side to this 
And if I did not defend them, then I would be remiss 
These bats are mamas and papas too 
They care for their young just like we ponies do 

Oh, give me a break, you're bein' too kind 
These creatures have a one-track mind 
The orchard is not their restaurant 
But do they ever think what others may want? 
No! They don't! And that is just a fact 
These bats, they simply don't know how to act 

That's where I have to disagree 
They're loyal to their family 
Spreading seeds both far and wide 

You see one comin', you'd better run and hide! 
They're big and ugly and mean as sin 
Will ya look at the state my trees are in? 

They help your trees, they'll grow stronger faster 

They've turned my life to a total disaster![*]

Well, I for one don't have a doubt 
These vermin must be stamped right out 

I second that, they've got to go 
These bats, they've got to hit the road 

It comes down to just one simple fact 
[These bats they simply don't know how to act]

Stop the bats! Stop the bats! 
Make them go and not come back! 
Stop the bats! Stop the bats! 
Make them go and not come back! 
Stop the bats! Stop the bats! 
Make them go and not come back! 

Yes, it comes down to just one simple fact 
[These bats they simply don't know how to act]
