"Weird Al" Yankovic Lyrics
"Ode To A Superhero"

Poor Peter Parker was pitiful
Couldn't have been any shyer
Mary Jane still wouldn't notice him
Even if his hair was on fire
But then one day he went to that science lab
That mutated spider came down
Oh, and now Peter crawls over everyone's walls
And he's swingin' all over town
La li la, li de da
La la, li le la da dom

Sling us a web you're the spider-man
Sling us a web tonight
Cause we're all in the mood for a hero now
And there's evil-doers to fight

Now Harry the rich kid's a friend of his
Who horns in on Mary Jane
But to his great suprise it seems she prefers guys
Who can kiss upside-down in the rain
With great power comes great responsibilty
That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben
If you missed it don't worry they'll say the line
Again and again and again
Oh, la la la, di de da
La la, di di da da dom

Now Norman's a billonaire scientist
Who never had time for his son
But then something went screwy and before you knew he
Was trying to kill every one
And he's ridin' around on that glider thing
And he's throwin that weird pumpkin bomb
Yes, he's wearin' that dumb Power Rangers mask
But he's scarier with out it on.

Sling us a web you're the Spider-Man
Sling us a web tonight
Cause you're brave and you're strong and so limber now
But where'd you come up with those tights

It's a pretty sad day at the funeral
Noman Osborne has bittin' the dust
And I heard Harry said he wants Spider-man dead
Aw, but his buddy Pete he can trust
Oh, and M.J. is all hot for Peter now
Aw, but Peter, he just shuts her down
Mary Jane, don't you cry, you can give it a try
Again when the sequel comes 'round
Oh, La la la, di de da
La la, di di da da dom

Sling us a web you're the Spider-Man
Sling us a web tonight
Cause we all sure could use us a hero now
And we think that you'll do all right
