How many of you sang this on the bus or on long car rides many years ago? I know I sure did, but I remember there were so many different versions. And I thought, what if we make them all into a complete song? And so, here it is! I know I'm not much of a singer, what singing voice I used to have long has deteriorated due to health issues that have plagued me over the past 20 years but I hope it's serviceable. I arranged them by age, first verse and chorus are oldest. Here's the lyrics.
(Verse 1)
Dashing through the snow,
On a pair of broken skis,
O'er the hills I go,
Crashing into trees!
The snow is turning red,
I think I might be dead,
I woke up in a hospital
With stitches in my head!
(Chorus 1)
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a beat-up Chevrolet! (x2)
(Verse 2)
Batman's in the kitchen,
Robin's in the hall,
Joker's in the bathroom
Peeing on the wall.
Penguin's in the freezer,
Alfred's in the study,
Two-face is in the living room,
I think that's everybody!
(Chorus 2)
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg!
The Batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker got away, hey! (2x)
(Verse 3)
Batman's in the kitchen,
Robin's in the hall,
Joker's in the bathroom
Peeing on the wall.
Penguin's on the potty,
His arms too short to wipe.
Catwoman's in the litterbox,
While the Riddler smokes a pipe!
(Chorus 3)
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin ran away!
He lost pants down in France and found them in Bombay!
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away!
Santa Claus lost his drawers on the M6 Motorway!
(Verse 4)
Crashing through the roof,
On a one-horse open tree!
Busting out I go, laughing all the way!
(Instrumental interlude)
(Chorus 4)
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg!
He blows his nose on cheerios and eats them everyday!
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away!
Landed on a football field but did not know how to play!
Notes:
1. The first verse sometimes accompanies another Jingle Bells parody that has nothing to do with Batman, hence why it's so different.
2. The second chorus can also end in "and the Joker took ballet" or "the Joker saved the day".
3. "Bombay" is an old name for Mumbai, a city in India.
4. The M6 Motorway is located in England, meaning this verse originated in the UK
5. The fourth verse is the only one to appear in official Batman media.
6.. "Football field" can also be "football pitch".
Merry Christmas to all of my friends and I hope you like this fun parody!
