ODE TO A SUPERHERO Lyrics

    Parody of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel


    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 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 billionaire scientist
    Who never had time for his son
    But then something went screwy 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 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
