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