Batman, you are bigger than a palm tree.

Batman, you are bigger than a palm tree.
You are Egyptian with your ears

Batman, you are bigger than a palm tree.
You are Egyptian with your ears
and your pretty gold belt.

Batman, you are bigger than a palm tree.
You are Egyptian with your ears
and your pretty gold belt.
The sea laps your thighs, Batman.
Look how long your gloves are.

Batman, you are bigger than a palm tree.
You are Egyptian with your ears
and your pretty gold belt.
The sea laps your thighs, Batman.
Look how long your gloves are.
You could lick a cloud you’re so tall.
No one is scared of you, Batman.
Everyone cruises along in a pleasure boat beside you.

You could lick a cloud you’re so tall.
No one is scared of you, Batman.
Everyone cruises along in a pleasure boat beside you.
When you finish your story, they all laugh.
Ha ha, Batman, they say, ha ha.
Your hair curls beneath your bat hat, Batman.
Your toes prod little islands.
Your wings flap around like fruitlessness.
