Lyrics (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman

Woke up this morning
Started to sneeze
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 wanna be a better man
Superman
Superman
Wish I could fly like Superman
Superman
Superman
I wanna be like Superman
Ho
I wanna 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, a 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 and 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
Oh
Superman
Superman
Wish I could be like Superman
Oh
I wanna fly like Superman
Superman
Superman
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 gotta 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
Oh
I wanna be like Superman
Wish I could fly like Superman
Superman
Superman
I wanna be like Superman
Superman
Superman
Wish I could fly like Superman
I wanna be like Superman
Wish I could be like Superman
I wanna be a Superman
Wish I could be like Superman
I wanna be like Superman
Superman
Superman
I wanna fly like Superman
Oh
