Superman’s Song Songtext
von 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 jungle scape
Dumb as an ape, doin′ nothin′

Superman never made any money
For savin' the world from Solomon and 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
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 goin′"


Superman never made any money
For savin' the world from Solomon and 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 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 changin′ clothes in dirty old phone booths
'Til his work was through
Had nothin' to do, but go home (home, home)

Superman never made any money
For savin′ the world from Solomon and 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, hmm, hmm, hmm
