Lyrics[]
- The Joker: I'm of a mind to make some mookie. Phone book.
The phone rings, it's Vicki calling
She wants me to come to the crib
See, conversation's better than being lonely
So I try my best to ad-lib
I told the joke about the woman
Who asked her lover, "Why is your organ so small?"
He replied, "I didn't know I was playing in a cathedral."
Vicki didn't laugh at all
This is where she wants to be
I am what she wants to see
I've never known a love so sweet
Still, I keep Vicki waiting
All right
All is well in Gotham City
The sound of terror is all you hear
Sometimes a pistol takes the place of her body
Sometimes her body's here
But you see, when crime is your only love
All that matters is the present, the here and now
People, people, whatever floats this joker's boat
Is whatever this joker will bang
This is where she wants to be
I, I am what she wants to see
I've never known a love so sweet
Still, I keep Vicki waiting
Oh, yeah
Wait on, uh
Ooh, whoo
Talk of children still frightens me (Ah, whoo)
Is my character enough to be (Yeah, whoo)
One that deserves a copy made (Ever, ever)
This I, one day, I hope to see
Until then, she's held at bay
By my animal-like persistence
Or maybe she's just too proud to say
That fate (Fate) brought us together
And this is where she wants to stay
This is where she wants to be
I, I, I am what she wants to see
I've never known a love so sweet
Still, I keep Vicki waiting
Oh
This is where she wants to be (Ahh)
I am what she wants to see (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I've never known (Never known) a love so sweet
Still, I keep Vicki waiting
All is well in Gotham Town (This is where she wants to be)
I am what she wants to see
I've never known a love so sweet
Still, I keep Vicki
Still, I keep Vicki
Still, I keep Vicki waiting (Waiting)
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Still, I keep Vicki
Still, I keep Vicki waiting
This is where she wants to be
