Lucy Wainwright Roche Superman
Tarzan
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
Clark Kent
Now there was a real gent
He would not be caught
Sittin’ around in no jungle scape
Dumb as an ape
Doin’ nothing
Superman never made any money
For saving the world
From Solomon Grundy
Sometimes I despair
The world will never see another man
Like him
Hey Bob
Supe had a straight job
Even though he could smash through any bank
In the United States
He had the strength
But he would not
Folks said
His family were all dead
The 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 Solomon Grundy
Sometimes I despair
The world will never see another man
Like him
Tarzan
Was King of the jungle
And Lord over all of the apes
But he
Could hardly string together
Four words:
“I Tarzan, you Jane”
Sometimes
When Supe was stoppin’ crimes
I 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 phone booths
‘Til his work was through
Nothing to do but go on home
Superman never made any money
For saving the world
From Solomon Grundy
Sometimes I despair
The world will never see another man
Like him
