Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, I got a live one here
[Verse 1]
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'
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
Stop the press
Who is that?
Vicki Vale, Vicki 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 got to know, are we gonna try to love each other?
Stop the press
Who is that?
Vicki Vale
She is great, isn't she?
[Verse 4]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
I want to bust that body
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
I want to bust that body, right (I'd like to)
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah (But he's out there right now)
I want to bust that body
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Tonight
[Verse 5]
Well, Miss Vale
Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
I always ask that of all my prey
I just like the sound of it
[Verse 6]
I've got to go to work (Batman)
I've got to go to work (Batman)
If the man is considered guilty (Work, work)
For what goes on in his mind (Work, work)
Gimme the electric chair
For all my future crimes, oh (Work, work)
Electric chair
[Verse 7]
Hey Ducky, let me stick the seven-inch in the computer
Hey, we got the power
Oh, we got the soul
Hey, we got the sho'nuff get off
To make the devil go, go
[Bridge]
This town needs an enema
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
(Batman) Don't stop dancing
I'm Batman (Batman)
Don't stop dancing
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Batman, Batman, Batman
Don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop (Batman)
Let's do it
Don't stop dancing
Bat-Bat-Batman
Don't stop dancing
No, dammit, turn the music back on
No, son of a bitch
[Outro]
Have you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?
Who's gonna stop two-hundred balloons? Nobody
