We actually use the "disco bat" approach to Bat Dance (from Music K-8, Vol. 3, No. 1, also available as a Singles Reproducible Kit). Hope this makes sense.

Walking around town - point 4 times with each hand
Everywhere you look - fingers in a V across eyes R & L
Hanging up - point up LRLRL
Bats are takin over - hands spread come down
That's a fact - Shrug matter of factly
I am so inspired - sunburst L hand/R hand
see those bats go flyin - make bat by crossing thumbs and fly
Makes me want to spread - sunburst "spreading wings" with both hands
the gravity defyin' - hands complete circle and "defy gravity" to straight up
And do a bat dance - á la Saturday Night Fever point disco

Good Luck. My kids LOVE the song!
