Superman's Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sitting around in no junglescape
Dumb as an ape doin' nothing
Superman never made any money
Saving 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 have smashed in any bank in the unitedstates
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 going
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 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 changin' clothes in dirty old phonebooths
'Till his work was through
Had nothing to do but go on home
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man
Like him
