Lyrics & Chords
(Dm) Batman said to Robin
I’ve (Bb) groomed you long e(F)nough
You (Dm) used to be a wimp
But my (Bb) training’s made you (C) tough
I (Dm) took you as a boy
But I’ll (Bb) tell you now my (C) plan
Be(Bb)fore the winter’s (Dm) over
I’ll make (C) you into a (F) man
(Bb) Who put the super in super (Dm) hero?
How (Bb) did they gain their strange abili(Dm)ties?
(Bb) Next to them we all feel like a (Dm) zero
Are they (C) really just liabili(F)ties?
The (Dm) Hulk and Green Lantern
Were (Bb) sitting on a (F) bench
Two (Dm) loners, no two losers
With a (Bb) thirst they’ll never (C) quench
(Dm) Admitting love was something
They (Bb) knew they’d never (C) taste
(Bb) Being a super (Dm) hero means
You’re (C) doomed to stay (F) chaste
CHORUS
BRIDGE
For (Gm) Flash his whole life
Was (Dm) going by so fast
Green (Gm) Arrow’s lost direction
Iron (Dm) man has been recast
(Bb) Stretched to the limit
Mr Fan(F)tastic cast his eyes
(C) Down into the depths
Where The (Dm) Thing just sits and cries
(Dm) Thor as an immortal
Can (Bb) kill but never (F) die
He (Dm) can’t appreciate the things
Mere (Bb) mortals live (C) by
(Dm) Daredevil is blind
To the (Bb) beauty all a(C)round
(Bb) Superman’s true (Dm) kryptonite?
He can (C) never settle (F) down
CHORUS
(Bb) Hush, (Dm) hush, (C) whisper who (Dm) dares?
(Bb) Batman and (F) Robin are (C) saying their (Dm) prayers.
