Audio The song I am superhero
Below is the lyric of the song:
I am a super hero,
What shall I wear today?
I think Ill put my boots on
The ones that fly all day
I am a super hero,
What shall I wear today?
I think Ill wear my magic cloak,
That hides me away
I am a super hero,
What shall I wear today?
I think Ill wear my glasses
The ones that can x-ray!
I am a super hero,
What shall I wear today?
I think Ill put my gloves on
And move the baddies away!
I am a super hero,
What shall I wear today?
I think Ill wear my jimmy jams
And on my bed Ill lay!
