Superman's Song Lyrics - The Ghosts That Haunt Me - Crash Test Dummies

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 

Clark Kent, now there was a real gent 

He would not be caught sittin' around in no jungle scape 

Dumb as an ape, doin' nothing 

Superman never made any money 

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 coulda smashed through 

Any bank in the United States 

He had the strength but he would not 

Folks said his family were all dead 

Planet crumbled, but Superman he forced himself 

To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep goin' 

Superman never made any money 

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 that he was tempted to just quit 

And turn his back on man 

Join Tarzan in the forest 

But he stayed in the city 

Kept on changin' clothes 

In dirty old phone booths 'til his work was through 

Had nothin' to do but go on home 

Superman never made any money 

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
