Ode To A Superhero
Weird Al Yankovic
[Intro] / [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Interlude] La li la li de da La la li le la da dom [Verse 3] Sling us a web you’re the Spider-Man Sling us a web to - night ’Cause we’re all in the mood for a hero now And there’s evil - doers to fight [Verse 4] Now Harry the rich kid’s a friend of his Who horns in on Mary Jane But to his great surprise it seems she prefers guys Who can kiss upside - down in the rain [Verse 5] "With great power comes great responsibility" 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 [Interlude] La li la li de da La la li le la da dom [Verse 6] Now Norman’s a billionaire scientist Who never had time for his son But then something went screwy and before you knew he Was trying to kill everyone [Verse 7] 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 without it on [Interlude] / / / / / / / / / / [Verse 8] Sling us a web you’re the Spider-Man Sling us a web to - night ’Cause you’re brave and you’re strong and so limber now But where’d you come up with those tights? [Instrumental] / [Verse 9] It’s a pretty sad day at the funeral Norman Osborn has bitten the dust And I heard Harry’s said he wants Spider-Man dead Aw but his buddy Pete he can trust [Verse 10] 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 [Interlude] La li la li de da La la li le la da dom [Verse 11] 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 [Instrumental] /
