(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman

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

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

I'd really like to change the world

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 be like Superman

Superman, Superman

I want to fly like Superman

Superman, Superman

I wish I could fly like Superman

Superman, Superman

Wish I could be like Superman

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

Superman, Superman

I want to be like Superman

Superman, Superman

Wish I could fly like Superman

Superman, Superman

I want to be like Superman

Superman, Superman

Wish I could fly like Superman

Superman, Superman

I want to be like Superman

Superman, Superman

Wish I could be like Superman

Superman, Superman

I want to be like Superman

Superman, Superman

Wish I could be like Superman

Superman, Superman

I want to be like Superman

Superman, Superman

Wanna fly like Superman
