F5  C5   F5        C5
Tarzan wasn't a ladies man
F5         C5              F5              C5       A5 
He'd just come along and swoop 'em up under his arm like
G5
that
A5         G5          D5     G5
Quick as a cat in the jungle 
    F5     C5         F5           C5 
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
F5        C5             F5          C5         A5    G5
He would not be caught sittin' around in no junglescape
A5         G5         D5     G5
Dumb as an ape doing nothing 

{c:Chorus}
     F5              G5              C5                     F5
     Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon
G5
rundy
         C5           F5           C5                F5
     And sometimes I despair the world will never see another
G5
man like him


F5   C5    F5          C5
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
F5                                             C5
Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the
A5     G5
United States
A5         G5               D5       G5
He had the strength but he would not
F5     C5        F5           C5 
Folks said his family were all dead
F5            C5            F5           C5                 A5
Their planet crumbled but Superman he forced himself to carry
G5
on
A5        G5             D5    G5
Forget Krypton and keep going   

{c:Chorus}


A5 G5       A5          G5          F5                 C5
Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes
G5

A5  G5        A5     G5               F5      C5      F5 
But he could hardly string together four words: " I
   C5        G5
Tarzan, you Jane"


F5   C5          F5        C5
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
F5    C5               F5               C5                 A5
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on
G5
man
A5      G5          D5    G5
Join Tarzan in the forest 
F5   C5  F5             C5        F5    C5
But he stayed in the city and kept changing clothes in
F5         C5
dirty old phonebooths
        A5       G5           A5         G5         D5      G5
Til his work was through and nothing to do but go on home 

{c:Chorus}
