Verse

Tarzan wasn't a ladies man

He'd just come along and swoop '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 doing nothing

Chorus

Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy

 And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

Verse

Hey Bob, 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 were all dead

Their planet crumbled but Superman he forced himself to carry on

Forget Krypton and keep going

Chorus

Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy

And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

Bridge

Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes

But he could hardly string together four words: " [D# I Tarzan, you Jane"

Verse

Some times 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 changing clothes in dirty

old phonebooths

Til his work was through and nothing to do but go on home

Chorus

Superman never made any money saving 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

The End..
