(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning, started to sneeze I had a cigarette and a cup of tea I looked in the mirror what did I see A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees [Verse 2] I did my knees bend, press ups, touch my toes I 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 [Pre-Chorus] Surely there must be a way For me to change the shape I'm in Dissatisfied is what I am I want to be a better man [Chorus] Superman, Superman, wish I could fly like Superman Superman, Superman, I want to be like Superman I want to be like Superman Superman, Superman, wish I could fly like Superman [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
