Karaoké (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman The Kinks

Woke up this morning

Started to sneeze

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

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 wanna be a better man

Superman

Superman

Wish I could fly like Superman

Superman

Superman

I wanna be like Superman

Ho

I wanna 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, 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

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

Oh

Superman

Superman

Wish I could be like Superman

Oh

I wanna fly like Superman

Superman

Superman

Wish I could fly like Superman

Superman

Superman

Wish I could be like Superman

Look in the paper

What do I see

Robbery, violence

Insanity

Hey girl

We gotta 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

Oh

I wanna be like Superman

Wish I could fly like Superman

Superman

Superman

I wanna be like Superman

Superman

Superman

Wish I could fly like Superman

I wanna be like Superman

Wish I could be like Superman

I wanna be a Superman

Wish I could be like Superman

I wanna be like Superman

Superman

Superman

I wanna fly like Superman

Oh
