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

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


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

{c:Chorus}


Am G       Am          G          F                 C
Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes
G

Am  G        Am     G               F      C      F 
But he could hardly string together four words: " I
   C        G
Tarzan, you Jane"


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

{c:Chorus}
