Batman Lyrics By Jan Dean

    i don’t know who he is behind that mask
    but we need him we need him now

    he’s known as bruce wayne by day wealthy socialite
    gotham city here they come
    but incognito in dress he fights crime by night
    gotham city here they come
    yeah it’s batman robin boy wonder at his side
    hey now riddler penguin joker better go hide
    sounds of villainous laughter

    we need the batman batman
    we need the batman 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
    gotham city here they come
    somewhere in gotham city it’ll find the batman’s eye
    gotham city here they come
    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 batman
    they call him batman batman
    did you see that strange car no why
    it was shaped like a bat
    sound of batmobile passing by

    so when you see the batmobile quickly pass you by
    gotham city here they come
    you know they’ve heard the batphone the commissioner’s cry
    gotham city here they come
    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 batman
    we need the batman batman
    i must be a creature of the night

    spoken
    black terrible um um sounds of bat’s call flapping wings
    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
    batman batman
    batman
    sound of batmobile passing by
