Because there's lots of kinds of strength...

[nockergeek]

Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em under his arm like that
Quick as a cat in the jungle
Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' around in no jungle-scape
Dumb as an ape, doin' nothin'

Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Even though he could smash through any bank in the United States
He had the strength, but he would not
Folks said his family were all dead
Planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself to carry on
Forget Krypton and keep goin'

Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

Tarzan is King of the Jungle and Lord over all the Apes
But he could hardly string together four words:
"I Tarzan, you Jane."

Sometimes when Supe was stoppin' crimes
I'll bet he was tempted to just turn his back on Man and join Tarzan
In the forest
But he stayed in the city,
Kept on changing clothes in dirty old phone booths until his work was through
And he had nothin' to do but go home

Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man
Like him

-- Crash Test Dummies, Superman Song
