Note: This song is virtually an instrumental, simply alternating cries of "Batman!" with "Ahhh-ahhhh-ah." See note for "Bucket T" below.
Batman!
Batman!
Batman!
Batman!
Batman!
Batman!
Ahhh-ahhhh-ah, etc.
Note: This song was originally recorded by Jan & Dean in Oct. 1963 and released on the LP "Dead Man's Curve/ " in April 1964. It was later paired with Jan & Dean's version of "Batman" on a single released 1/19/66. This single probably inspired the Who to record the two songs.

Found her in a barn in Tennessee
I paid five bucks for my Bucket T
Took me three years of sweat and blood
To clean off all that Tennessee mud
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
T T T... Bucket bucket bucket...
Cruise down the street in front of school
I wanna rev it up but I gotta be cool
Drivin' down the road I'll get my kicks
A'poppin' the clutch and a'slippin' the sticks
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
T T T... Bucket bucket bucket...
I was right, too, she's first in her class
There's nothing on the freeway she don't pass
All the girls want to take a ride with me
But there's only one seat in my Bucket T
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
My Bucket T (Bucket T)
Bucket bucket T T, bucket T bucket T
Bucket bucket T T, bucket T bucket T, etc.
Ba ba ba, ba Barbara Ann
Ba ba ba, ba Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann
Take my hand
Barbara Ann
Rockin' and a'reelin' Barbara Ann
I went to a dance
Looking for romance
Saw Barbara Ann so I thought I'd take a chance
With Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a'rollin'
Rockin' and a'reelin' Barbara Ann
Tried Mary Lou
Tried Peggy Sue
Tried Freddie too
But I knew she wouldn't do
Like Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a'rollin'
Rockin' and a'reelin' Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann...
I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my
friends
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises
I don't think you want me to see you ever again
And today I saw you dressed as a flower bed
Last week you had a wig on your head
Directing traffic in the street
And your shoes were too big for your feet
You were wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises
I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my
friends
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
