"Weird Al" Yankovic - Spiderman

(Parody of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel)

Poor Peter Parker was pitiful
Couldn't have been any shier
Mary Jane still wouldn't notice him
Even if his hair was on fire

But then one day he went to that science lab
That mutated spider came down
Oh and now Peter crawls over everyone's walls
And he's swingin' all over town

La la la didy dah
La la lily da da dum

Sling us a web you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a hero now
And there's evil-doers to fight

Now Harry the rich kid's a friend of his
Who horns in on Mary Jane
But to his great surprise
It seems she prefers guys
Who can kiss up-side down in the rain

"With great power comes great responsibility"
That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben
If you missed it, don't worry they'll say the line
Again and again and again

La la la didy dah
La la didy da da dum

Now Norman's a billionaire scientist
Who never had time for his son
And then somthin' went screwee
And before you knew
He was trying to kill everyone

Then he'd ridin' around on that glider-thing
And he'd throw in that weird pumpkin bomb
Yes, he's wearin' that dumb Power Rangers mask
But he's scarier without it on

Sling us a web you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause you're brave and you're strong and so limber now
But where'd you come up with those tights

It's a pretty sad day at the funeral
Norman Osbourne has bitten the dust
And I heard Harry said he wants Spiderman dead
Ah but his buddy Pete he can trust

Oh and M.J. is all hot for Peter now
Ah but Peter he just shuts her down
Mary Jane don't you cry, you can give it a try
Again when the sequel comes around

La la la didy dah
La la didy da da dum

Sling us a web you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause we all sure could use us a hero now
We think that you'll do alright
