Superman's Song
Crash Test Dummies - The Ghosts That Haunt Me
tarzan, wasn't a ladies' manhe'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 jungle scape dumb as an ape
doing nothin'
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've smashed through any bank in the united states
he had the strength be 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
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 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 changing clothes in dirty old phone booths
'til his work was through he had 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
