Superman In the endless reaches of the universe There once existed a planet known as Krypton A planet that burned like a green star in the distant heavens There, civilization was far advanced And it brought forth a race of supermen Whose mental and physical powers Were developed to the absolute peak of human perfection But there came a day when giant quakes Threatened to destroy Krypton forever One of the planet's leading scientists Sensing the approach of doom Placed his infant son in a small rocket ship And sent it drifting in the direction of the earth Just as Krypton exploded This looks like a job for Superman The rocket ship sped through star-studded space Landing safely on earth with its precious burden Krypton's sole survivor A passing motorist found the uninjured child And took it to an orphanage As the years went by He found himself possessed of amazing powers Faster than a speeding bullet More powerful than a locomotive The infant of Krypton is now the man of steel Superman This looks like a job for Superman I'm putting you in command of the spaceship This looks like a job for Superman
