Deep Purple - Rat Bat Blue Lyrics






Hey baby, what you gonna do
When the lights go up on you ?
What's your name, can I drive you home ?
Sweet woman, are you all alone ?
You're the one for me
I'm gonna keep you busy as a bee, could bee, could be
Rat bat blue

Now, get up woman, don't be slow
It's getting late and I wanna go
No cause for acting big
Got to love, got to live
Stick around with me
I'm gonna show you things you never thought you'd see,
you see
Rat bat blue
You're so fine

Get out ! You didn't understand
I'm a hard loving man
No way you can satisfy
The way you look, the way you lie
And when you shut the door
Make sure I don't see you 'round here no more
Rat bat blue
Alright

Deep Purple Rat Bat Blue Comments
  1. k.... ....

    That's a Bobby Parker riff from 1961 - almost exact. It's been used in a lot of great rock songs.

    we use to have a radio station called the other side of the album-pretty cool!

  4. M.... H....

    Jon Lord the master blaster!!

  5. t.... r....

    Parto dal presupposto che la vita è sempre uno sliding doors; mi sono sempre chiesto... chissà come sarebbe stato, se le cose tra di loro fossero andate bene, se avessero continuato insieme, con ancora un picco di ispirazione, se non si fossero sciolti per dare spazio a quella stupida parentesi funky con i nuovi due, che con i veri purple nulla c entrano. Non so se mi attireró l ira dei più, ma è cmnq la mia opinione. E ve lo dice uno che ha comprato sia burn, che stormbringer e come taste the band. E togliendo le canzoni omonime dei primi due e un paio del terzo, resto, da fan di vecchio stampo, di questa opinione. Chissà, con la stessa vena creativa di in rock e machine head cosa avrebbero sfornato ancora. (Lo so, la reunion dell 84 e perfect stranger, ok! Ma non è la stessa cosa). ..Pensate un po': la mark 2 ancora insieme nel 74,75,76. Ritchie non avrebbe creato l "arcobaleno"? Anche questo è un chi lo sa e un misteri da sliding doors! (E grazie a Dio che li ha creati). ..ma per me, ora e sempre, i DEEP PURPLE erano, sono e resteranno la mark 2!!!

  6. V.... T....

    my favorite track all time

    Hola a Tod@s y buenas noches/madrugadas ...!!!🎼
    Una banda inglesa con una trayectoria más que ganada,a pesar de todas las contradicciones y blasfemias ,con y sin razones infundadas, lo cierto es qué es más que sugestivo el título de este maravilloso álbum...
    ..Pues «Quién nos creemos que Somos»....sólo somos ...unos «Murciélagos Tristes»...merodeando por el mundo...JA...!!!😱🎸🎼👌
    Pues nada...Saludos desde la R.O.U...@tte ALEJANDRO!!🎼🎸🎵

  8. F.... P....

    Rat Bat Blue is a song title and lyric that Spinal Tap would have come up with. 😂

  9. A.... R....

    Sounds too funk to be DP; may be this is the reason it is easy on the ears and light. Great keyboard.

  10. E.... C....

    Wowzers

  11. �.... �....

    This is the greatist song for ever...

  12. R.... G....

    Speed, power, energy, explosion, art, ... Rock at its best. 23 / Nov. / 2019 -- 10:01 pm. México.

  13. A.... O....

    is it only for me utube disregards low frequences randomly?

    A.... O....

    Low frequencies? Might be you're listening from a phone?

  14. n.... ....

    As far as those concerned about copied music, bare in mind, music has been written for over 500 years. Hardly anything has been brand new for a long, long time. Consequently everyone borrows from everyone else including themselves.

  15. m.... ....

    In the still of the night ..

  16. M.... A....

    Jon Lord Bach.

  17. A.... S....

    Great tune and the then followed by Place in Line on the album .... it does not get better than this

  18. T.... T....

    この曲、というかリフ、けっこう革新的なことしてるよね。

  19. G.... U....

    This total class! This has always been a favorite of mine, the album is stunning

  20. G.... ....

    "In the still of the night I hear the wolf-howl, honey, Sniffin' around your door..." Second riff. Try it.

  21. R.... B....

    this is a cool tune....Rocks!!

  22. o.... t....

    It sounds as though this is being played at 34 and 1/3 iRPM instead of 33 and 1/3 oh have ya heard the 78 RPM Alvin and the Chipmunks version it's a real gas

  23. K.... M....

    Jon Lord was trying to do Keith Emerson one better in that solo.
    He may have succeeded !

  24. G.... J....

    Blackmore i think I d wipe the floor of most guitarist

  25. l.... ....

    i bought this album after machine head!!! wish i was 16 again!! LOL

  26. D.... C....

    They played this track on the 1996 UK Tour. Wonderful solo by the late, great Jon Lord.

  27. S.... W....

    Rat Bat Blue in an Audi RS3 with Bang and Olufsen hifi unbelievable !!

  28. j.... ....

    Joan Jett makes the hall of fame ? these guys are kick fucking ass Boston Garden 1973

  29. j.... ....

    Timaeus..right on brotha

  30. j.... ....

    awesome album lotta memories..lotta beer weed and babes... 1971 GTX 383 hemi

  31. M.... ....

    True Deep Purple fans never bitch about which LP is better or which song is better etc,,be damn thankful for every second of the work these guys did..

  32. A.... D....

    Who do we think we are? We are from the magical 20th century where folk could actually play instruments. It don't mean a think if you ain't got no swing. A rat bat blue. Haha.

  33. a.... s....

    2.37. wtf is that, like a mouse having a zeisure on the keys. that some insane stuff for 1973. totally blows my mind, john lord...ohh lord.

    a.... s....

    Insane period.
    Jon lord was truly a jam of the prog and hard rock scene, yet he didn't have much chances in deep purple to make his talent truly shine outside of the first albums and lives... Well, this is one of those chances he got.

    The '70s truly werr the best years in music.

  34. l.... ....

    I think Jon Lord used an electric keyboard, the Rock-Si-Chord, to play the part sounding as an harpsichord. I read that he put it into the Hammond, so to have both of them under his hands. I am sure he first used them together in Fireball.

  35. E.... T....

    I remember when Dad brought this home... My fave cut on the album.... If you really think about it, it does sound more powerful and more mature than the current zeppelin houses of the holy.... just my opinion.

  36. T.... B....

    Can't be better than this. Deep rock. Perfectly

  37. t.... h....

    my dad drove me to the record store that was on wayne ave. in dayton...i bought this album...totally blew me away...i learned the lead guitar on every song... 70's were awesome...best music...

  38. t.... h....

    one of my alltime favorite songs...

  39. P.... F....

    "And when the end came,the whole place stamped for more.Deep Purple had won,England had lost."

    P.... F....

    Eating ban on Deep Purple men

  40. �.... �....

    Вот что вытворяет Джон Лорд, потрясающе!!!

  41. P.... B....

    Think this is one of their greatest "unknown" tracks. Just sums the whole band sound .

  42. C.... J....

    bons tempos, cabelos pelos ombros, muitas minas, diversão a todo tempo. Valeu meninos!!

  43. T.... W....

    Probably the most Underplayed Hard Rock Song Ever!!!.....& Better than Smoke on the H2O!!!!

  44. E.... K....

    riff from the Allman Brothers - One Way Out

    E.... K....

    and where did they nick it from? The source! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC9UlURkGLI ( also nicked by Zeppelin, the Yardbirds, Beatles etc )

  45. J.... D....

    So fucking great song...

  49. B.... B....

    I remember the first time i heard this tune...CRANKED on a cassette in my first car say about '85. In a snowstorm with some buddies and some beers and some weed. Never forget when that keyboard/organ solo kicked in, with that bass pumping underneath. Proceeded to wear that tape right the fuck out.

    Paice didn't want anyone to say he didn't use enough Cow Bell. Don't know how Paice isn't considering the most creative drummer in the business. He was like Blackmore. Never repeated his self in over 50 years of music. And he did those rolls so fast they sound like one beat. Phenomenal is what Paice is.

    K.... S....

    He's easily the greatest drummer of all time,but doesn't get enough credit.

    K.... S....

    Ian Paice is the Greatest Drummer in Rock Music. Period. End of Story. And I was fortunate enough to see him 6 times in his prime. 71 thru 76

    K.... S....

    @RoadKingRyder Fantastic.You do have to be there to fully appreciate his genius.

    have you noticed how a lot of purple songs sound the same

  61. G.... ....

    The riff from 00:34 is very close to one of the main riffs in Still of the Night by Whitesnake. David Coverdale has said he based SotN on a song he was working on with Ritchie Blackmore in Purple. A chicken-and-egg mystery. :)

  62. d.... ....

    SO GOOD !!!

    Excuse my language, but......................God Damn.

    For an album almost entirely overlooked, I think it's absolutely phenomenal.

  80. P.... B....

    Rat Bat Blue...Glover powers away on this track..Just underpins JL's brilliant keyboards

  81. B.... H....

    Absolutely one of my favorite songs by them, ever. And one of their most overlooked, alas.

  82. S.... M....

    Love this tune. Rocks me

  83. D.... C....

    Seen them in Tokyo,Budakan Hall. Yes it was amazing. Best part of this story is we went and seen Zeppelin a short time later. Then it was Uriah Heep,T-Rex, and Queen. We had a blast over there. Now we're all meeting in TN for a reunion over 40 years later!

  84. T.... T....

    Always loved this song but man parts of it sound like Zeps Moby Dick which ripped off Bobby Parker’s Watch Your Step. Guitar and drums. Cow bells and all.

    T.... T....

    writers use the same 26 letters, and no one gives a shit.
    get a life.

  86. W.... F....

    RAT BAT BLUE? WTF is that? This is my least fav Purple album.

  87. M.... ....

    Gonna keep you busy as a bee could be......could be

  88. h.... w....

    I've seen this band live, with 3 different line ups Going to see the 4th in Mt Pleasant, Mi august 25...i'm 58 yrs old, these guys are a major reason why i have hearing aides(true story!).

  89. n.... ....

    Mark2 again playing the genre they created with their monumental "In Rock" album. A genre of which, of course, they only played. They were quite simply the greatest group of pure rock musicians ever. Their first four albums were entirely group compositions. You'ed be hard pressed to find 4 such albums by any other top rock group. They each were at their best when they were together.

  90. M.... N....

    This is arguably Jon Lord's album --- he had to make up for Ritchie's uninspired playing throughout the whole production. But, amazingly enough, Gillan's lyrics / vocal work is sensational even if he did take a stab at the unsuspecting Blackmore on SMOOTH DANCER -- lol.

  91. F.... F....

    Holy crap,Jon Lord goes off the fuckin' rails in this solo.

  92. �.... �....

    kick ass song!

  93. �.... �....

    Славное время было. И музыка отличная и музыканты талантливые и люди добрые. И ни какой политики. Deep Purple супер на все времена.

    Blackmore was saying he would like to get them all together to do one show together this year original line up.

    paul cooper ..Should have thought of that years ago when Lord was still living.
