Superman, superman, I want to be like superman
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
Superman, superman, I want to fly like superman
I looked in the mirror, at my pigeon chest
Woke up this morning, what did I see
Dissatisfied, is what I am
And if I were superman then we’d fly away
I’m too weak, I’m so thin
I did my knees, bend press ups, touch my toes
Had another sneeze and I blew my nose
Got to be a superman to survive
I want to be like superman
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
I’m such a wreck but I’m staying alive
There’s got to be something better than this
I looked in the mirror, what did I see
Superman, superman, want to be like superman
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Hey girl, we’ve got to get out of this place
I need you but I hate to see you this way
Surely there must be a way
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
I’d really like to change the world
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
For me to change the shape I’m in
Want to be a better man
I’d like to fly but I can’t even swim
A big black cloud hanging over me
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
And save it from the mess it’s in
