Superman’s Song Lyrics 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
    for saving the world from mon 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
    planet crumbled but superman he forced himself to carry on
    forget krypton and keep going

    superman never made any money
    for saving the world from mon 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
    kept on changing clothes in dirty old phonebooths ’til his work was through
    and nothing to do but go on home

    superman never made any money
    for saving the world from mon 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
