[Intro] Welcome to Gotham… The city’s got a new king. And you can call me Penguin. [Verse 1] Walk through the city with a cane in my hand Umbrella by my side, got the whole town planned They laugh at the suit, they laugh at the name But they won’t be laughing when they lose the game Born in the shadows, raised by the cold You wanted a monster, now watch me take hold I built my empire while they looked away Now every dirty deal runs through my name Cobblepot… Remember it well. Because everybody in Gotham Has something to sell. [Pre-Chorus] You want power? I want more. You want war? I’ve been keeping score. [Chorus] CALL ME THE PENGUIN! King of the underground CALL ME THE PENGUIN! Hear that umbrella hit the ground You can call me small You can call me weak But you’ll be begging for mercy When you hear me speak CALL ME THE PENGUIN! Gotham knows my name I don’t need a cape I don’t need a mask I built my kingdom Playing Gotham’s game [Verse 2] Ice in the club and blood in the street Everybody wants a piece Everybody wants a seat But seats at my table Come with a price And if you cross Oswald You don’t get to roll the dice Money moves Deals made Favors owed Debts paid You think Gotham belongs to the Bat? That’s cute. The night belongs to whoever Controls the route. [Verse 3] I’ve got politicians I’ve got cops I’ve got businessmen I’ve got every shop Everybody’s clean Until the money changes hands Then suddenly they’re dancing To the Penguin’s commands I don’t need superpowers I don’t need fear I just need one phone call And the right people hear [Chorus] CALL ME THE PENGUIN! King of the underground CALL ME THE PENGUIN! Hear that umbrella hit the ground You can call me small You can call me weak But you’ll be begging for mercy When you hear me speak CALL ME THE PENGUIN! Gotham knows my name I don’t need a cape I don’t need a mask I built my kingdom Playing Gotham’s game [Bridge — Beat drops] They wanted a joke. They got a businessman. They wanted a criminal. I became the man. They wanted the Penguin To stay beneath the Bat… But every king needs a kingdom. And Gotham? Gotham is where I’m at. [Beat Switch] So raise your glasses. To Gotham’s elite. The Penguin has arrived. And he’s taking his seat. [Final Chorus] CALL ME THE PENGUIN! KING OF THE UNDERGROUND! CALL ME THE PENGUIN! I RUN THIS FUCKING TOWN! From the back-alley deals To the penthouse lights I’ve been building my empire Every single night CALL ME THE PENGUIN! Oswald Cobblepot! You can laugh at the name But you’ll never forget I’m the man with the umbrella I’m the lord of the street And when Gotham wants business… They come to ME. [Outro] The Bat owns the night… But the Penguin? He owns the city underneath it. [Umbrella snap] Welcome to the Iceberg.
