There's times when real people let me down
When the temperature falls to zero
I cuddle by the fire with a good book, and
For a while I am a superhero
You really need to be a superhero
'Cause many times people will hurt
You and try to mess you 'round

And anyway, my comic book heroes won't
Let me down
Comic Book Heroes!
