I Wanna Be Hamill's Joker

Music: I Wanna Be Peter Lorre (copyright Tom Smith)


What makes me so down, are the villains that I see.
I can't do much for them, not doing very much for me.
I find too many flaws, with Dexter, Lecter and Jigsaw.
Monsters, killers, and zombie hordes, looking at them just make me bored.

Cesar Romero was too silly, Heath Ledger way too bleak.
Jack Nicholson was so snarky I could punch him in the cheek.
No, I was quite surprised, by Luke Skywalker's other guise.
His wit and style caught my attention
[as Joker] And never failed to bring Bats avengin'!



When I grow up, I wanna be Hamill's Joker
A purple Zoot on him looks so divine.
I want to cackle and plot, and put Batman on the spot.
[Joker] And if that doesn't work I've got a gas guaranteed to raise a smile.

Who wants to be a grim and tortured Dark Knight?
Who wants to face the hero all alone?
I've got all that I need, with my pretty minion Harleen.
I wanna grow to be Hamill's Joker and steal a shrink of my own!

When I grow up, I wanna be Hamill's Joker
I'll stalk a guy who cut off my car on a drive.
[Joker] Now I don't understand the hate, 'cause Harley had to push the cake.
And if Bats hadn't come then Commish would have gotten such a surprise!

I wanna patent a fish that's laughing.
I wanna gas Gotham and steal it blind!
And if I want more kicks, I'll give the Phantasm some licks!
I wanna be Hamill's Joker and pre-empt “It's a Wonderful Life!”

[Joker] When I grow up, I wanna be Hamill's Joker
I'll stalk the grounds of the Asylum and Arkham City.
Waiting for the Bat, to fall for my clever trap.
Then foolishly make that one mistake, and give the cure to me!

I wanna sing some classic from the Platters
As I am slowly dying from a Titan OD
I long for days gone by, when I gave my Harley a ride
I wanna grow up to be Hamill's Joker
Batman's the one the joke will be onna.
Mark Hamill's the best Joker we've ever seen!

[Joker] Oh, Batsy!
