Lyrics

Well, I don't take no stuff, I'm Jumping Jack Flash

The bad guys try to do me in but I'm too smart for that

Faster than a speeding bullet, jump buildings in a single bound

Known throughout the country as the baddest, baddest man around

'Cause I'm Superman

I'm Superman

Watch out for Filthy McNasty

He'll try to cross my lines from kryptonite to TNT

He'll try to blow my mind but I fight him with my goodness

I fight him with my strength and if that don't work, my good friends

I'll hit him, hit him with the kitchen sink

Yeah

'Cause I'm Superman, yeah

I'm Superman

Oh, yeah

I'm rough, I'm tough, I'm big bad stuff, yeah

I'm rough, I'm tough, I'm big bad stuff, yeah

I'm rough, I'm tough, I'm big bad stuff, yeah

'Cause I'm the baddest, baddest, baddest man around

'Cause I'm Super

Yeah, I'm Superman
