Tar-zan, wasn't a ladies man,
G D G D Bm A Bm
He'd just come along and scoop them up under his arm like that, quick as a
A Em A
cat in the jungle.
G D G D
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent,
G D G D
A
He would not be caught sittin' aro-und in no jungle scape
Bm A Em A
Dumb as an ape doing nothing.
[Chorus]
G A D D/E
G
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
D G D G

And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
[Verse 2]
G D G D
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
G D G D
Bm A
Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States
Bm A Em G
He had the strength but he would not
G D G D
Folks said his family were all dead
G D G D
Bm A
Their planet crumbled but Superman he forced himself to carry on
Bm A Em A
Forget Kryp-ton and keep going
[Chorus]
G A D D/E

Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
D G D G

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

Tar-zan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes
Bm A Bm A G
G D A
But he could hardly string together four wo-rds: "I Tar-zan, you Jane"
[Verse 3]
G D G D
Some-times when Supe was stopping crimes,
G D G D
Bm A
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on man
Bm A Em A
Join Tar-zan in the forest
G D G D G D
G D
But he stayed in the city, kept changing clothes in dirty old phonebooths
Bm A Bm A
A
Til his work was rued and nothing to do but go on
[Chorus]
G A D G
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
D G D G
A
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
[Outro]
D G D G

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