[Riddle me this: What do you call a sleeping bull?
Answer: A bulldozer!]
(The Riddler!)
(The Riddler!)
Riddle me this:
What, tell me what, tell me what's the difference
Between an elephant and a flea?
(Gee, we would sure like to know the difference
Between an elephant and a flea!)
Well, an elephant can have fleas
But a flea can't have elephants!
(Hey diddle diddle
The whole world's a riddle
To the Riddler!
The Riddler!)
Riddle me this:
What did the chick say to the other chick
When the hen laid an orange instead of an egg?
(What did the chick say to the other chick
When the hen laid an orange, not an egg?)
The chick said "Look at the orange Marma laid!"
Ooo!
(Aw, c'mon, Riddler!)
I'll puzzle you a puzzle
I'll quiz you a quiz
I'm gonna keep you guessing like nobody's business, hoo!
I'm a whiz
And my name is the Riddler!
(The Riddler!)
Riddle me this:
Which, tell me which is the easier to spell:
Fiddle-de-dee or fiddle-de-dum?
(Gee, we give up! Which is easier to spell:
Fiddle-de-dee or -dum?)
Fiddle-de-dee, 'cause it's spelled with more E's!
(Hey Riddler, when's the worst weather for rats and mice?)
When it's raining cats and dogs!
(Why is your nose not 12 inches long?)
Because then it would be your foot!
(Hey Riddler, why do birds fly south for the winter?)
Because it's too far to walk!
(Gee, Riddler, you know everything!)
That's right, kids!
And you know why?
'Cause I'm the Riddler!
Hey diddle diddle
The whole world's a riddle!
Hey diddle diddle
The whole world's a riddle!
Hey diddle diddle
The whole world's a riddle!
Hey diddle diddle
The whole world's a riddle!
