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 cuz 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
play bass riff
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
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 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
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
(till fade out)
