Weird Al Yankovic - Ode To A Superhero lyrics

Ode to a Superhero

By Weird Al Yankovic

From Poodle Hat

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 dum

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 surprise it seems she prefers guys

Who can kiss upside down in the rain

"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

Oh, la la la, di de da

La la, di di da da dom

Now Norman's a billionare scientist

Who never had time for his son

But then something went screw and before you knew he

Was trying to kill everyone

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

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

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

Oh, and M.J. is all how 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 sequal comes 'round

Oh, la la la, di de da

La la, di di da da dum

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
