Lyrics:
I asked you a question, but i didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy? but then i realized
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well, I thought it was already as heavy as can be

Is it overwhelming to use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman to lift the sun into the sky
Cause it's gettin heavy
Well, I thought it was already as heavy as can be

Tell everybody waitin' for superman
That they should try to hold on the best they can
He hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything
It's just too heavy for superman to lift
