Im too weak, Im so thin
Superman, superman, want to be like superman
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
I looked in the mirror, what did I see
Id like to fly but I cant even swim
And if I were superman then wed fly away
Superman, superman, I want to fly like superman
Id really like to change the world
Dissatisfied, is what I am
Had another sneeze and I blew my nose
Theres got to be something better than this
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
I want to be like superman
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
Im such a wreck but Im staying alive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
I did my knees, bend press ups, touch my toes
Got to be a superman to survive
For me to change the shape Im in
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
I need you but I hate to see you this way
I looked in the mirror, at my pigeon chest
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
Want to be a better man
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
Hey girl, weve got to get out of this place
A big black cloud hanging over me
Superman, superman, I want to be like superman
And save it from the mess its in
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
Surely there must be a way
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
Woke up this morning, what did I see
