"Superman's Song"
by Crash Test Dummies

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 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 through any bank In the United States.
He had the strength, but he would not 
Folks said his family were all dead 
Their planet crumbled but Superman, 
he forced himself To carry on, 
forget Krypton, and keep going 
Superman never made any money 
saving 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 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, 
and kept on changing clothes In dirty old phonebooths 
till his work was through 
And nothing to do but go on home 


Superman never made any money 
saving the world from Solomon Grundy 
And sometimes I despair the world will never see 
Another man like him


Superman never made any money 
saving the world from Solomon Grundy 
And sometimes I despair the world will never see 
Another man like him
