Weird Al Yankovic - ODE TO A SUPERHERO Lyrics
Parody of "Piano Man" by Billy JoelPoor Peter Parker was pitifulCouldn't have been any shyerMary Jane still wouldn't notice himEven if his hair was on fireBut then one day he went to that science labThat mutated spider came downOh, and now Peter crawls over everyone's wallsAnd he's swingin' all over townLa li la, li de daLa la, li le la da domSling us a web, you're the Spider-ManSling us a web tonight'Cause we're all in the mood for a hero nowAnd there's evil-doers to fightNow Harry the rich kid's a friend of hisWho horns in on Mary JaneBut to his great surprise it seems she prefers guysWho can kiss upside-down in the rain"With great power comes great responsibility"That's the catch phrase of old Uncle BenIf you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the lineAgain and again and againOh, la la la, di de daLa la, di di da da domNow Norman's a billionaire scientistWho never had time for his sonBut then something went screwy and before you knew heWas trying to kill everyoneAnd he's ridin' around on that glider thingAnd he's throwin' that weird pumpkin bombYes, he's wearin' that dumb Power Rangers maskBut he's scarier without it onSling us a web, you're the Spider-ManSling us a web tonight'Cause you're brave and you're strong and so limber nowBut where'd you come up with those tights?It's a pretty sad day at the funeralNorman Osborn has bitten the dustAnd I heard Harry's said he wants Spider-Man deadAw, but his buddy Pete he can trustOh, and M.J. is all hot for Peter nowAw, but Peter, he just shuts her downMary Jane, don't you cry, you can give it a tryAgain when the sequel comes 'roundOh, la la la, di de daLa la, di di da da domSling us a web, you're the Spider-ManSling us a web tonight'Cause we all sure could use us a hero nowAnd we think that you'll do all right
