Lyrics
Wonderman
[Hey guys-the hair, right?]
[Right]
Wonderman
[You're uh, rejecting the the shiny baldness of the materialistic 80's right?]
[Right, right]
[Lauging]
[O-okay, tonight we interview a really big star... Not you, him!]
There he is... havin' a blast,
There he is... hogging the limelight,
There he is... a blue rint that works,
He's number one, he's el supremo,
Attitude and power sneakers,
At-attitude and power sneakers,
To be that good just ain't that easy
Wonderman, Wonderman,
He is a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman,
Ahh he's a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman, Wonderman
All us feeling, left to wonder,
Is it lightning? Is it thunder?
There he is ... hip to the script,
There he is ... suited and booted,
There he is ... like Fay Wray's King Kong,
So fast it hurts you'll get a slap,
If you take a nap he'll spin attack,
Take-take a nap and he'll spin attack,
To be that good just ain't that easy
Wonderman, Wonderman,
He is a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman,
Ahh he's a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman, Wonderman
All us feeling, left to wonder,
Is it lightning? Is it thunder?
Wonderman, Wonderman,
He is a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman,
Ahh he's a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman, Wonderman
All us feeling, left to wonder,
Is it lightning? Is it thunder?
There he is ... state of the art,
There he is ... Speedy Gonzalez,
There he is ... Z-z-zoom Sonic Boom,
A slammin' door at 3 am,
An itch you scratch again and again,
Again and again again and again,
An itch you scratch again and again
Wonderman, Wonderman,
He is a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman,
Ahh he's a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman, Wonderman
All us feeling, left to wonder,
Is it lightning? Is it thunder?
Wonderman, Wonderman,
He is a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman,
Ahh he's a Mister Wonderman,
Wonderman, Wonderman
[He's just a flippin hedgehog okay?!]
[As we usher in the new, it's time to bury the very boring]
[Uhhh, right I-I-I'm too sexy for my shirt.. right... right (laughing)]
