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 
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 
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 

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 

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
