SUPERHERO

Words & Music By Michael Bannerman

When I was a child I had a certain flare

For tying on a towel and running round in underwear

I chased down all the villains, rescued kittens in dispare

And every night before I'd sleep I'd pray this simple prayer

I want to be, I want to be a superhero

I want to be, I want to be a superhero

(repeat)

Well I finally got a little older, but the dream just wouldn't die

And every once in a while I'd jump just to see if I could fly

My daddy thought I was crazy so he had a chat with me

He said "Son, you ain't a boy no more...

So decide what you're going to be"

(chorus)

I want a life that's packed with action

I want to save the world from wrong

I want some simple satisfaction

All I need is a theme song...

Well now I am a father and my son he's got a flare

For tying on a towel and running around in underwhere

I tell him that he's crazy and ask him what he's trying to do

He stops and laughs and says "hey dad...

I only want to be like you!"

(chorus)
