Baby Jesus, I am a poor boy too,  
I have no gift to bring to lay before the King.  
Parumparumpum, parumparumpum, parumparumpum.

How can you mend a broken heart?  
How can you stop the rain from falling down?  
How can you stop the sun from shining?  
What makes the world go 'round?

‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round and around.  
Love makes the world go ‘round!  
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,  
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round!

I met a little guy about four feet small,  
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!  
Every time I see ‘em comin’ down the street,  
I know true love just can’t be beat!

Out there they love you  
They’re asking for more,  
So let’s give them one more  
Encore!

Baby, although I chose this lonely life  
It seems it’s strangling me now  
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car  
They’re all laughing at the lie  
Oh, I’ve been used  
ohh I’ve been a fool  
oh, what a fool  
I broke all the rules  
oh, yeah  
But I must let the show go on

But the fool on the hill,  
Sees the sun going down,  
And the eyes in his head,  
See the world spinning 'round.

Ooh, ooh,  
Round and round and round.

And he never listens to them,  
He knows that they’re the fools  
They don’t like him,

The fool on the hill  
Sees the sun going down,  
And the eyes in his head,  
See the world spinning 'round.

I won’t slave for beggar’s pay  
Likewise gold and jewels  
But I would slave to learn the way  
To sink your ship of fools

Hadn’t traveled very far when suddenly I saw  
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore  
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit  
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot

Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose  
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes  
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind  
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine

Me and the puzzled travelers  
We searched the ground for wealth  
And scoured the dreaming valleys  
On days where shadows melt  
Digging for the blue and the green  
Constant in opal or ultramarine  
But you could only find yourself that way

But I’ve done a bit of smugglin’  
I’ve run my share of grass  
Made enough money to buy Miami  
But I pissed it away so fast  
Never meant to last  
Never meant to last

I went to my brother to ask for a loan  
I was busted  
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone  
But I’m busted  
My brother said, “There ain’t a thing I can do  
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu  
And I was just thinkin’ of callin’ on you  
I’m busted”

Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city went  
I met too many good looking girls and that’s where my money went  
Yeah I know just where it went  
No I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent.

There’ll never be another quite like you  
I’m so involved with everything you do  
Don’t say nothing good will ever come of this  
Don’t say the damage is worse than it is

Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants  
Where the oranges grew  
And back in Metropolis, nothing can ever topple us  
When I’m standing with you

Up, up and away, away from me  
It’s all right  
You can all sleep sound tonight  
I’m not crazy, or anything

I can’t stand to fly  
I’m not that naive  
Men weren’t meant to ride  
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet  
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street  
Only a man in a funny red sheet  
Looking for special things inside of me

That’s really super Supergirl  
How you saved yourself in seconds flat  
And your friends are going to say  
That’s really super Supergirl  
How you’re changing all the world’s weather  
But you couldn’t put us back together  
Now I feel like I’m tethered deep  
Inside your Fortress of Solitude  
Don’t mean to be rude  
But I don’t feel super  
Supergirl
