Songs

Flash
(Tune: Bingo)

There was a hero

Who ran really fast

And Flash was his name-o

F-L-A-S-H, F-L-A-S-H, F-L-A-S-H

And Flash was his name-o

I'm a Big Superhero

(Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)

I’m a big super hero

Strong and brave

Here is my mask

And here is my cape

When you are in trouble

Just say my name

And i will come to save the day

Batman's Here to Save the Day

(Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)

Batman wears a dark black suit,
dark black suit, dark black suit
Batman wears a dark black suit
with a black cape too

Batman drives the Batmobile,

Around the city streets

Batman's here to save the day, 

save the day, save the day

Batman's here to save the day 

to make sure Gotham's safe
