Superman’s Song

[Verse 1]
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 junglescape
Dumb as an ape, doing nothin'

[Chorus]
Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes, I despair the world will never see another man like him

[Verse 2]
Hey Bob, Supe' had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States
Well, he had the strength, but he would not
Folks said his family were all dead
The planet crumbled, but Superman, he forced himself to carry on
Forget Krypton and keep going

[Chorus]
Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes, I despair the world will never see another man like him

[Bridge]
Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four words:
"I Tarzan, you Jane"

[Verse 3]
Sometimes, when Supe' was stopping 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 phonebooths 'til his work was through
Had nothing to do but go home

[Chorus]
Superman never made any money
For saving 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
