What do I do...?
I'm in the superhero game.
I've got superpowers
and a catchy name.
it's not very well paid
there's not much money to be made
but it does give me something with which to seranade
the ladies
so there's nothing about which to be maudlin'
I find it enormously rewarding
my favourite sound as I wander around
is people gasping, pointing me out
and applauding.

So if you're thinking about causing harm
you'd better run from my long arm.
no time for dawdling
I'll seize you on the scene
if crimes a disease
then I'm the vaccine.

I'll never forget you,
I'm coming to get you
there's no escape
I won't let you

'Cause I don't tend to suffer from
your human doubts and fears
when they first dreamed me up
they used up all of their ideas.

Where did they go...?

.
Where did they go, Surely you jape ?
Is that not SuperToe
In that Pink Cape ?

Chasing that arch villain
That make children cower in fear
Captain Penicillin
AKA Balladeer...

Good one Simon & long overdue, I have been waiting a new one from your pen.  Apologies for using your post to have a dig at Null and Void, but I need to keep hamering away at them....  John
