Q) How does Bruce Wayne’s mother call him home when it’s meal time?
A) dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner BATMAN
well, it was funny when I was 7
But she’s, you know…dead.
And besides, Alfred did the cookin.
Now that’s funny!
Back to the OP:
I’ve also heard a version that ends with “And joker took ballet.” Kinda lame, I know. This was from the early 90s.
A. Since a horse-drawn sleigh produces very little sound over snow, bells were traditionally used to warn others of a sleigh’s approach in order to avoid a collison. In the days when travel by sleigh was common, bells were actually a legal requirement as a safety precaution.
B. Batman dresses in tight-fitting full-body synthetic garb and engages in vigorous physical exertion for long periods. Also, as his name suggests, he spends a great amount of time in a cave populated by bats, which produce a rich carpet of nitrate-laden guano.
That wasn’t the Joker, that was Tu-Two Face.
The earliest version I heard goes back to 1972. I think it was “The batmobile lost a wheel and the joker got away!” It’s hard to track down kiddie rhymes–I’d pay a fortune to know where those “Miss Lulu” tunes come from but I’ll probably never find out.
The one I heard was:
Jingle bells, Batman smells,
Robin flew away.
The Batmobile lost a wheel,
On the M6 motorway.
Repeat ad nauseum.
