| The horror, it was Zorro | |
| He was wearin' a mask | |
| I was out with my folks | |
| And we was havin' a laugh | |
| We didn't do this too often, | |
| mingle with the proletariats | |
| folks were old money | |
| And too often they were scaredy cats | |
| Always goin' out | |
| Leavin' me with the help | |
| Always raising funds | |
| And I'm left by myself | |
| They saw that I was missin out | |
| On being a kid | |
| Dad said we're going out | |
| And I'm flippin' my lid | |
| I was lost in the dark | |
| like that time in the cave | |
| Surrounded by bats | |
| Alone and afraid | |
| Big Z on my screen | |
| Meant dueling and danger | |
| Someone so evil | |
| Can focus their anger | |
| A hero that sent the injust to their ruin | |
| A mask to protect from people pursuin' | |
| A cape to conceal a collection of tricks | |
| And eveything black, on this he insists | |
| I am the Batman | |
| I jump up and then I land | |
| You don't know what I got in my hand | |
| The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!" | |
| I am the Dark Knight | |
| I do whats right, but I do it out of spite | |
| Don't look quite right if you turn on the light | |
| I'll land with a boom, which goon wanna fight? | |
| Dad had the limo out back | |
| I was sacked out cause I'm a little lad | |
| Don't wanna be older, head's on a shoulder | |
| I heard a loud sound, and I went on the ground | |
| It was sad... and my father was dead | |
| My mother was screamin' till she was shot in the head. | |
| See pearls in a puddle that was suddenly red | |
| The memory gets muddled except what the man said | |
| "Ever dance with the Devil | |
| In the pale moon light?" | |
| A riddle I'll remember | |
| For the rest of my life | |
| This killer was a chiller | |
| I was froze to the bone | |
| Alfred found me, I was howlin' | |
| Like a pup on his own | |
| I made a promise to my parents | |
| In the circle of light | |
| I would vanquish evil in a cape | |
| Maybe some tights | |
| I didn't know how I would do it | |
| Or which form I would take | |
| I just knew it was a creature | |
| Only I could create | |
| I am the Batman | |
| I jump up and then I land | |
| You don't know what I got in my hand | |
| The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!" | |
| I am the Dark Knight | |
| I do whats right, but I do it out of spite | |
| Don't look quite right if you turn on the light | |
| I'll land with a boom, which goon wanna fight? | |
| ... | |
| ... pack plenty of socks | |
| brought a legion of luggage | |
| drug it down to the docks | |
| But I gave them the slip | |
| Stowed away on a freight | |
| I was pissed with being rich | |
| Life's a bitch, so they say | |
| Foreign land, with the plan | |
| and the knowledge within | |
| for soon I'd be a man | |
| that would need to begin | |
| This quest to be best | |
| And defend the opressed | |
| Packed in the projects | |
| Like objects and pests | |
| I'd have to return | |
| But for now, I would train | |
| I learned tracking and hunting | |
| On the African plains | |
| In China learned Tao | |
| Japan, I learned Jiu Jitsu | |
| Don't believe you would bleed | |
| Well let me convince you | |
| Nerve pinch, in a pinch | |
| ... | |
| Used the Quivering Palm | |
| In a fight take a life | |
| Over a hundred forms | |
| Of hand-to-hand anguish | |
| Rosetta stone to the dome | |
| Learned every language | |
| Studied shadow with ninjas | |
| disguise and escape | |
| Learned boxing, detoxing | |
| Concealing with capes | |
| Went to Cambridge, ... | |
| But never for too long | |
| 'Fore the end of the semester | |
| I would have to be gone | |
| Came home to forgotten | |
| Gothem's so rotton and twisted | |
| Came home to my mansion | |
| It's a vast stash of riches | |
| Brooding in the darkness | |
| With a bust of my father | |
| A bat through the window | |
| A question of honor | |
| I am the Batman | |
| I jump up and then I land | |
| You don't know what I got in my hand | |
| The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!" | |
| I am the Dark Knight | |
| I do whats right, but I do it out of spite | |
| Don't look quite right if you turn on the light | |
| I'll land with a boom, which goon wanna fight? |
