When I was young, no worries in my head I used to flap my arms, and fly around the bed Just like a super bird, zoom, zoom, zoom Up and down the chandelier, all around the room When I told the people that I could really fly They said that little boys ain't supposed to lie Poor little super bird sitting on the ground No zoom, zoom, zoom, when anyone's around Fly, fly, fly super bird, super bird While you're young super bird, super bird There's time enough to wreck your dreams Have your fun, super bird They said I couldn't, so what did I do then? I cried myself to sleep and never tried again Poor little super bird they woke you up too soon No Santa Claus or green cheese on the Moon It skipped my mind for years, at least until tonight When I tucked the kids in bed and I turned out the light There at the doorway, you'll never guess what I heard Zoom, zoom, zoom, super bird Fly, fly, fly super bird, super bird While you're young super bird, super bird There's time enough to wreck your dreams Have your fun, super bird
