Super Powers<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got bitten by a radioactive bug
\nI tried an experimental drug
\nI went out for a stroll on a gamma testing range
\nI found an enchanted Uru cane
\nI made a serum that made me small
\nI modified the serum so it would make me tall
\nI got radioactive isotope in my eye
\nA dying alien helped me accessorize
\nI gained the proportionate strength of a spider
\nNow I’m invincible and I can fly
\nI lost my sight and my other senses were heightened
\nI’m gonna put on my pajamas and go fight crime
\nCHORUS:
\nNow I’m a super hero (now I am a)
\nI’m a super hero now (super hero)
\nNow I’m a super hero (I’m a super)
\nI got my super powers (hero now)
\nMy best friend and my girlfriend (and her brother)
\nwent into space
\nWho’da thought we’d get bombarded by cosmic rays
\nIt turns out I’m the last of a powerful alien race
\nMy mother formed me from a lump of magic clay
\nI’m given super powers by a yellow sun
\nI studied under the Ancient One
\nI got an adamantium skeleton
\nSome grizzled old wizard taught me a magic acronym
\nNow I got the wisdom of Solomon
\nAnd the Strength of Hercules
\nI have memorized what “AZAM” was
\nBut I still fight evil in my red pajamas
\nCHORUS
\nI gotta get me a helicopter
\nAnd you can get a jet plane
\nWe’ll take out their surveillance tower
\nWe can make up code names
\nAnd when you get home at the end of your day
\nI’ll pack your parachute and put away
\nYour utility belt and gas grenades
\nYou were never meant to see
\nI showed you my secret identity
\nI suppose that I could always hypnotize you
\nIf I wanted to
\nBut I propse another thing
\nYou can wear my decoder ring
\nWe can have matching hovercraft
\nWe can go undercover
\nAfter all we might just fall like stars from the sky
\nYou know too but I know you
\nyou won’t be happy til you try
\nSuper hero team-up
\nCowboy secret space detective true love
\nSuper villain two-in-one
\nThe bad guys have taken over Washington
\nDon’t be scared cause I’m prepared
\nThere’s an emergency but I’m ready
\nCause fortunately I’m a super hero too
\nI got super powers just like you
\nNow I’m a super hero
\nNow I’m a super hero
\nNow I’m a super hero
\nI got my<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
