Batman Walks Into a Bar Lyrics

The rain was flooding the drive home from work

I deemed it unsafe to drive

I pulled over at the nearest parking lot

At a bar called The Gotham Dive

It's easy to find a seat unoccupied

When the bar looks closed

So when Batman walked in he had forty open seats to choose from

And you can guess which one he chose

He sat down in the seat to the left of me and I said

Well that's a hell of a suit

And I introduced myself and I shook his hand and he said

You can call me Bruce

And after a while the bartender smiled and said

What'll it be?

Batman said I'd love a glass of justice, but I can't drink when I'm on call

So I'll take a chamomile tea

And he said you know what really bothers me

Is how much I drink when I'm alone

I feel like work might kill me

And I wish I would have known

That there's a hero inside of every one of us

Just waiting to be found

There's a hero inside of everyone of us

And you should never let him out

He looked at a girl across the bar

He turned to me and spoke

Said there was a hero inside of her last night

But I left before she woke

Then she headed our way and she said how do you sleep at night?

Then she slapped his face

And he said generally I sleep vertically upside with my eyes closed

Inside of a cave

He said there's clown I work with

He's always making jokes

And he asked me why so serious

And I said it's 'cause I know

That there's a hero inside of every one of us

Just waiting to be found

There's a hero inside of everyone of us

And you should never let him out

Riddle me this

What would happen if I left this town

What would happen if I quit this job

And I hid the hero back inside

By this point I'd finished a couple of drinks

He removed the mask from his eyes

And he walked over to the window through which he

Quietly observed the night

And there in the sky the bat signal signed and

Well he paused to think

And he said I think I'll call in sick tonight

And he ordered himself a drink
