The Lyrics

This is both a Batman-oriented "filk" song and an argument in favor of choosing James "Jim" Carrey as Batman rather than, say, Christian Bale.
Riddle me this and I'll joke you that yeah yeah yeah yeah
James Carrey should have been the big black Bat yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now they've got Christian Bale wearing the cape yeah yeah yeah yeah
But if you ask me they made a really big mistake yeah yeah yeah yeah
You see Joel Schumacher did everything wrong yeah yeah yeah yeah
And he's the reason Bob Kane is dead and gone yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now Jimmy did you hear about this one
Tell me are you lost in the clutch
Jimmy are you goofing on Desi (hey LOOcy)
Are we losing touch

'Cause if you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
Where everyone's cruel

Michael Keaton was no Adam West yeah yeah yeah yeah
Wearing the costume put him to the test yeah yeah yeah yeah
He was known for getting laughs but he played it straight yeah yeah yeah yeah
And he pulled off Batman's compassion and hate yeah yeah yeah yeah
So Jimmy pay attention to this one
The Caped Crusader's under the gun
But if you go from zero to hero (SmmmOKin')
We can get it done

'Cause if you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
Where everyone's cruel

So here's a little protest of the Bat's betrayal yeah yeah yeah yeah
Here's a small plug for Carrey's sake yeah yeah yeah yeah
Here's a short petition meant for Time Warner yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mister Jimmy Carrey's gone into his cave yeah yeah yeah yeah
Now everybody's waiting for this one
So Batman can be edgy again
And though we promise not to form an obsession (CAAble guuyy)
Carrey is our friend

'Cause if you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
(If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon)
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
(Then you'll believe that Gotham City's cruel)
Where everyone's cruel
If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
(If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon)
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
(Then you'll believe that Gotham City's cruel)
Where everyone's cruel
If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon
(If you believe they put a Bat On The Moon)
Bat On The Moon
Then you'll believe that Gotham City's the place
(Then you'll believe that Gotham City's cruel)
Where everyone's cruel

Hey, isn't this identical to http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/rem74.shtml ? If so, why'd you submit it twice?

Purely accidental. I had intended to submit it only once; my mistake.
