[Spoken Intro: Jack Nicholson]

I'm of the mind to make some mookie

Phonebook


[Verse 1]

The phone rings, it's Vicki calling

She wants me to come to the crib

You 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


[Chorus]

This is where she wants to be

I am what she wants to see

I never known a love so sweet

Still, I keep Vicki waiting

(All right)


[Verse 2]

All is well in Gotham City

The sound of terror is all you hear

Sometime, a pistol takes the place of her body

Sometimes, her body's here

But you see when crime is your only love

All that matter is the present, the here and now

People, people, whatever floats this joker's boat

Is whatever this joker will bang


[Chorus]

This is where she wants to be

I am what she wants to see

Never known a love so sweet

Still, I keep Vicki waiting

(Oh, dear)


[Verse 3]

Talk of children still frightens me

Is my character enough to be

One that deserves a copy made?

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 brought us together

And this is where she wants to stay


[Chorus]

This is where she wants to be

I, I am what she wants to see

Never known a love so sweet

Still, I keep Vicki waiting


[Chorus]

This is where she wants to be

I, I am what she wants to see

Never known

Never known a love so sweet

Still, I keep Vicki waiting


[Chorus]

(All is well in Gotham town)

This is where she wants to be

I am what she wants to see

Never known a love so sweet

Still, I keep Vicki

Still, I keep Vicki

Still, I keep Vicki waiting


[Outro]

Still, I keep Vicki

Still, I keep Vicki waiting

This is where she wants to be
