it was shaped like a bat
sound of batmobile passing by
so when you see the batmobile quickly pass you by

and from the batcave our heroes keep evil at bay
we need the batman batman

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
sound of batmobile passing by
