Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
|
He'd just come along and scoop 'em 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' around in no
|
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Superman never made any money
|
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
|
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
|
Another man like him
|
|
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
|
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 Krypton, and keep going
|
|
Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
|
But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."
|
|
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
|
I'll 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, and kept on changing clothes
|
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
|
And nothing to do but go on home
|
