The world has lost a good man and great actor.

UPDATE: It appears that Reeve suffered a massive heart attack, lapsed into a coma and never recovered.

Tarzan wasn’t a ladies’ man.
He’d just come along and scoop ‘em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle.
But clark kent, now there was a real gent.
He would not be caught sittin’ around in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing.

Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy.
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him.

Hey bob, supe had a straight job.
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the united states, he had the strength, but he would not.
Folks said his family were all dead.
Their planet crumbled but superman, he forced himself
To carry on, forget krypton, and keep going.

Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy.
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him.

Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes,
But he could hardly string together four words: I tarzan, you jane.

Sometimes when supe was stopping crimes,
I’ll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join tarzan in the forest.
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home.

Superman never made any money
Saving the world from Solomon Grundy.
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him.
