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, doin' nothin'

Superman never made any money

For savin' 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

Well, 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 goin'"

Superman never made any money

For savin' the world from Solomon Grundy

And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man

Like him

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 stoppin' crimes

I'll bet 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 changin' clothes in dirty old phone booths

'Til his work was through

He had nothin' to do, but go on home

Superman never made any money

For savin' the world from Solomon Grundy

And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man

Like him

And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man

Like him

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
