Sueperman's Big Sister

Ian Dury

Compositor: Ian Dury / Wilko Johnson

'Till I met her, I thought I knew the answers
I thought a bit of treatment was all a body needs
I'll take you where the haps are
All the handsome chaps are
Squeeze you 'till I make your feelings bleed

She put me right in under fifteen minutes
She could have had my things off, so sadly was I raised
I had a lot to learn, dear
If I'd gone on the turn, dear
It wouldn't be surprising nowadays

You know she's Superman's big sister
Her x-ray eyes see through my silly ways
Superman's big sister, superior skin and blister
It doesn't seem surprising nowadays... yeah!

Superman's big sister
Superman's big sister
Superman's big sister
Superman's big sister
I said she's Superman's big sister
It doesn't seem surprising nowadays

And now I've had the sense to keep her friendship
And though I nearly miffed it in many little ways
The story's got no sequel
'Cos me and her are equal
Is that so surprising nowadays?

Because she's Superman's big sister
Her x-ray eyes see through my silly ways
I said she's Superman's big sister, his grown up skin and blister
Is that so surprising nowadays?
