Superman's Song

Tarzan wasn't a ladies man

He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm

Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle

But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent

He would not be caught sittin' around

In no jungle-scape, dumb as an ape, doin' nothin'

Superman never made any money

For savin' the world from Solomon Grundy

And sometimes I despair, the world will never see another man

Like him

Hey Bob, Supe' had a straight job

Even though he could've smashed through any bank in the United States

Well, he had the strength but he would not

Folks said his family were all dead

Planet crumbled, but Superman, he forced himself to carry on

Forget Krypton and keep goin'

Superman never made any money

For savin' the world from Solomon Grundy

And sometimes I despair, the world will never see another man

Like him

Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes

But he could hardly string together four words

I Tarzan, you Jane

Sometimes when Supe' was stoppin' crimes

I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit

And turn his back on man, join Tarzan in the forest

But he stayed in the city, kept on changing clothes

In dirty old phone booths till his work was through

And nothin' to do but go on home

Superman never made any money

For savin' the world from Solomon Grundy

And sometimes I despair, the world will never see another man

Like him

And sometimes I despair, the world will never see another man

Like him, hmm
