Lyrics
Me and Peter Parker
went out walking just today
ran into the Kingpin
This is what he had to say...
"Superheroes can you see
the writing on the wall?
Don't talk don't ask questions
Don't do anything at all
Just say 'YES'
and do your best
and we'll send you the check."
"You are old and out of work
and not so hot these days
All I'm asking you to do
is look the other way
and get paid"
I say
"YES, NO,
I just don't know
I wanna break out of this SoHo
Oh Mary Jane
My spider-sense is going crazy."
"Honey, Babe,
The things he said
all turn inside my head
It would be Superhero Life Insurance
to help you when I'm dead."
Her reply
to my surprise
was to
"Tell them all no thanks
I wouldn't trade you Tiger,
not for all the money in the bank
Kiss me,
and go back to saving the day."
"But he said that
I am 'old and out of work
and not so hot these days'
and all he's asking me to do
is look the other way
Ok..."
I'll say,
"NO, NO,
We're on our own
Take your bribe and just go home
Oh me and Mary Jane
our spider-sense is going crazy."
Meanwhile, back at the lair...
"It's not a toss,
hey Boss,
the word is just not on his lips
He's not taking paychecks
he's been working just on tips
But we have ways to make him pay
we'll force him to say 'YES',
We'll have him taking orders
he won't ever second guess.
We'll break his heart
and then we'll tear his family apart.
We'll put him down before he even starts."
"He is old and out of work
and not so hot these days
and we have ways of making
even superheroes pay.
He's gonna pay!"
"He'll say 'YES',
we bet
Who could resist our benefits?
Doesn't he have a wife and kids?
Oh, he'll come around
or Spider-man is going down."
And comes the day
when Kingpin carries out his plan.
He says,
"Hear ye now my Spider-man
my offer, it still stands."
And I says,
"As for me my web is boiling
in its spinnerettes.
I've had enough of your
back-room contracts
and choking on your cigarettes.
But I don't think I'll do a thing,
I'm gonna look the other way,
and leave your lesson for another day."
"One day when our heroes return
Mighty and strong,
We will then be joined together
Fighting and singing songs
And on that day
we'll all find what we've been waiting for
and we won't have to pull our punches
Anymore..."
"You'll be old and out of work
and not so hot in your ways
And there are those who can make
even super-villains pay."
I say,
"NO, NO,
We're on our own
I'll take my bride and just go home
Oh me and Mary Jane
our spider-sense is going crazy."
