Get the funk up!
Batman
Get the funk up!
Batman
Get the funk up!
Go, go, go with a smile!
Batdance
Do it
Keep bustin'
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
Batman, Batman
I've seen the future and it will be
Batman (house, do it, house)
And where, and where is the Batman?
Do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Stop the press
Stop the press, who is that?
Vicky Vale, Vicky Vale
I like
Batman, Batman, Batman
Oh- that's nice
Hi, Bruce Wayne
I've tried to avoid all this, but I can't
I just gotta know are we gonna try to love each other?
Stop the press- who is that?
Vicky Vale
She's great, isn't she?
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
I wanna bust that body
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
I wanna bust that body right
I'd like to
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
But he's out there right now
I wanna bust that body
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah 2 night
Well, miss Vale
Ever dance with the devil in the pale Moon light?
I always ask that of all my pray
I just like the sound of it
I've got to go to work
Batman
I've got to go to work
Batman
If a man is considered guilty
Work!
For what goes on in his mind
Work!
Then gimme the electric chair
Work!
For all my future crimes-oh
Work!
Electric chair
Hey Ducky, let me stick the 7-inch
In the computer
HA, HA, HA
Hey, we got the power
Oh, we got the soul
Hey, we got to sho'nuff get off
To make the devil go, go
This town needs an enema!
I'm gonna kill you
Power
I'm not gonna kill you
Soul
I'm gonna kill you
Power
I'm not gonna kill you
Soul
Let's do it
I'm Batman
Batman
Don't stop dancin'
I'm Batman
Batman
Don't stop dancin'
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Batman, Batman, Batman
Don't stop, don't stop
Let's do it
Don't stop dancin'
Let's do it, Batman
Let's do it, Batman
Don't stop dancin'
Don't stop dancin'
No, damn it! Turn the music back up!
You son of a bitch!

Who's gonna stop 200 balloons?
Nobody!
Batman
Stop!
