Intro Riff: |A D A D A D A A|G G G G A A G A|
intro riff
Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
G A
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
intro riff
I looked in the mirror what did I see
G A
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
intro riff
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
G A
I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
intro riff
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
G A
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
D C
Surely there must be a way
G A
For me to change the shape I'm in
D C
Dissatisfied is what I am
G A
I want to be a better man
A (*) G A (*) (intro riff can be played also)
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
A G A A G A
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
A (*) G A
......................I want to be like Superman
A G A A G A
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
[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
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
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
