Lyrics

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
 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
