Lyrics

Catwoman: Good evening all you gentlemen, mobsters, creeps and crooks,
Huntress: Men in tights come after you, and still, you’re off the hook,
Black Canary: For those who scare and terrorize, it’s the dawn of a brand new day;
All 3: You scum can simply call us, the one and only Birds of Prey!

Catwoman: Green Lantern has his special ring! (H and BC: Pretty strong that little thing!)
Black Canary: Blue Beetle’s deeds are really swell! (H: But who will bring him out of his shell?)
Catwoman: Flash’s foes, they finish last! (H: Too bad sometimes he’s just too fast!)

All 3: While all the boys can always save the day,
No one does it better than the Birds of Prey! (BC: The one and only Birds of Prey!)
While all the boys can always save the day,
No one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey!

Catwoman: Green Arrow has heroic traits, that is when he’s shooting straight!

Black Canary: (spoken) Hey!

Catwoman: I’m just saying...


Black Canary: Aquaman’s always courageous!

Huntress: His little fish, less outrageous.
Black Canary: Plastic Man can't expand.

All 3: Becomes putty in our hands! While all the boys can keep you punks at bay,
No one does it better than the Birds of Prey (2 Unknown Mobsters: The one and only Birds of Prey)
All 3: While all the boys can always save the day,
No one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey!

Catwoman: Batman throws his Batarang, what a weapon, what a thang...
Black Canary: Check out that utility belt, sure can make a girl’s heart melt...
Huntress: He’s always right there for the save, I’d like to see his secret cave...

All 3: While Batman does things in his special way,
He'd do it better with the Birds of Prey! (BC: The one and only Birds of Prey!)
All 3: While Batman always seems to save the day,
No one does it better, no one does it better than the Birds of Prey!
Birds of Prey...

Catwoman: (spoken) Meow...

Reception

While fan reception to the song has mostly been positive, many moral guardians and parents protested due to the lyrics and nature of the song. As the episode aired in Australia before coming to the U.S, (but only on iTunes), WB was forced to change at least one supposedly 'racy' shot in the musical number.
