TITLE: Superman's Song
Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 1]

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

/ D A D A / D A D A F#m E / F#m E Bm - E - / :

{Refrain}
Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

/ D - E - / A - D - / A D A D E - - - /

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

{Refrain}

Tarzan was king of the jungle
And lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together
Four words: "I Tarzan, you Jane"

/ F#m E F#m E / D - A E / 1st / D A D A E - - - /

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 till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

{Refrain}

And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

/ A D A D E - - - /
