You know 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 was all dead.
The 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
until his work was through,
and nothing to do
but go on home.
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.
