batman

i don't know who he is behind that mask

but we need him

and we need him now

he's known as bruce wayne by day

wealthy socialite

but incognito in dress

he fights crime by night

yeah it's batman and robin

boy wonder at his side

hey now

riddler

penguin

joker

better go and hide

we need the batman

we need the batman

criminals are a superstitious

cowardly lot

so my disguise must be able

to strike terror into their hearts

now as the bat signal sweeps across the midnight sky

somewhere in gotham city it'll find the batman's eye

there's a crime wave goin' on

but not for very long

'cause the batman's gonna teach 'em right from wrong

they call him batman

they call him batman

did you see that strange car

it was shaped like a bat

so when you see the batmobile quickly pass you by

you know they've heard the batphone and the commissioner's cry

yeah that dynamic duo's out to prove crime doesn't pay

and from the batcave our heroes keep evil at bay

we need the batman

we need the batman

i must be a creature of the night

black

terrible! um. um. as if in answer a huge bat flies in the open window!

a bat

that's it

it's an omen; i shall become a bat!

thus is born this weird figure of the dark

this avenger of evil

the batman!

batman batman
