To be a villain looks far more fun
No matter what heroes might say
A life lived fast and on the run
Their scheming and plotting is second to none
Sneaking around is their way
To be a villain looks far more fun
Lurking in lairs, their work’s never done
Convinced that the goodies must pay
A life lived fast and on the run
Outlandish outfits that weigh a tonne
Dressed to spread doom and dismay
To be a villain looks far more fun
Solitary creatures, they follow no one
Content leading others astray
A life lived fast and on the run
Daring and brave, flying close to the sun
Etched in our memories they’ll stay
To be a villain looks far more fun
A life lived fast and on the run
