The dark night is covered in snow As I watch over shoppers below Reminds me I’ve got giving to do But I already know what I’m giving you It doesn’t come with ribbons or bows I’m gonna tell you something nobody knows On Christmas, unwrap the mystery ‘Cause I’m telling you my secret identity CHORUS I’m Batman Merry Christmas, I’m Batman Yes you heard me right, I’m Batman Hope you didn’t guess it, I’m Batman See, I want to give you something that’s real Not a girlfriend cycle or girlfriendmobile No fur-lined cape, no 20-carat ring ‘Cause when you’re dating Bruce Wayne, you can have anything So Alfred set a table for two And Dick is sick; he’s got deja vu (Holy deja vu, Batman!) There’s nothing waiting under the tree For Christmas, unmask the real me CHORUS When you’re near, I feel that our lives are complete But the pang when you’re gone knocks me clear off my feet Being your mister frees me up to be cute I can step out of the night and into the light and play you a song on my batflute This gift is yours ‘cause I love you best I’ve got no regrets...like all the rest When Vicki saw behind the veil It’s ‘cause Alfred let her in the cave; that wasn’t my fail Selina guessed while we danced one night She’d kissed my batlips during a catfight With you I want to shout to the world Except not really; we can’t tell anyone that you’re my girl What if they tried to get to me by hurting you, ‘cause I’m Batman? CHORUS I’m Batman (He’s Batman!) Congratulations, I’m Batman (He’s Batman!) Best Christmas ever, I’m Batman (He’s Batman!) You don’t have to thank me, I’m Batman (He’s Batman!) I’m Batman - Listen, baby, I can tell that you don't believe me but it's true - I'm Batman; I'm the Dark Knight - Okay, listen, you remember that time you were walking home from work - And you were attacked by that gang of street toughs and Batman saved you? - That was me! - You remember what he said? - He said, "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me" - Does that ring a bell? - Yeah, that’s cause it— - Oh, hang on - Yes, Commissioner? - Bell-ringing Santas with machine guns? - The Joker! - I'll be right there - I’m sorry, baby, I’ve...I’ve gotta run - Can we try this again tomorrow? - Same bat time, same bat mansion? - I know; I love you - And merry Christmas - I'm Batman (I’m Batman)

O little town of Gotham, where is born this very hour An ordinary babe without a single super power Who'll grow one day to wear a mask and make the villains cower CHORUS O the Batman will watch over us all Over us all O the Batman will watch over us all When Joker tries to kill us with an acid spitting rose Or Penguin with a saber that is longer than his nose He'll sock them on the jaw and then he'll strike a hero's pose CHORUS Should Two-Face flip a coin and have it come down on his head Or Scarecrow loose a poison that will fill the town with dread He'll narrowly escape though we all will have thought him dead CHORUS No danger he won't face, no foe too strong for him to fight With Robin by his side or even Batgirl if it's tight He'll solve the riddle, save the day, then fade into the night CHORUS When we turn on the signal, he'll come dashing from his cave He'll thrash the enemy but never send them to the grave It's sad his parents have to die so that we might be saved CHORUS
