Intro
Verse 1
Tar-zan, wasn t a ladies man,
He d just come along and scoop them 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 aro-und in no jungle scape
Dumb as an ape doing nothing.
Chorus
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
Verse 2
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job G D
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 Kryp-ton and keep going
Chorus
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
Bridge
Tar-zan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes
But he could hardly string together four wo-rds: "I Tar-zan, you Jane"
Verse 3
Some-times when Supe was stopping crimes,
I ll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on man
Join Tar-zan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, kept changing clothes in dirty old phonebooths
Til his work was rued and nothing to do but go on
Chorus
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
Outro
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
