SUPERCATS (lyrics)

[eliyes]

So, I obsess easily. And when I got a hold of a live performance by four ladies who, as a group, are apparently Divine Strumpet, about a team of four female superheroes from the 70s, I figured I'd look it all up. :3 And transcribe the lyrics (which I cheated with by finding a partial transcription, which was necessary because I was mishearing two of the names; in my defense, who expects "Fauna" and "Hercula"?)


Fauna!

Hercula!

Helen!

Electra!

(Whoa)/(Supercats, Supercats)[repeat]

You were the superheroes no-one ever heard of [clap x4]
Yours was the comic book that nobody else but me
Ever read
Or admitted to whoa -
There was a secret code for readers to decipher [clap x4]
There was a pendant and a diary and a Supercat badge
Lucky me
I had the whole darned lot whoa

Supercats, Supercats, Hercula, Fauna and Electra, whoa
Supercats, Supercats, I wish I could recall a single adventure whoa
Supercats, Supercats, whizzing around the place in jumpsuits (well, didn't everyone?)
Couldn't wait, every week, for my beloved Supercats.

Hercula's tall but being tall is over-rated
Fauna's chameleon abilities were way under-used
And Helen's wet
That isn't her fault, whoa -
I think I understood why Helen was the captain -
I guess they had to make her something 'cos the girl didn't have
Any(Alien?) powers
Poor Helen! ('Poor Helen! Poor Helen!') whoa

Supercats, Supercats, Hercula, Fauna and Electra, whoa
Supercats, Supercats, I wish I could recall a single adventure whoa
Supercats, Supercats, whizzing around the place in jumpsuits (well, didn't everyone?)
Couldn't wait, every week, for my beloved Supercats.

(You know, I never wanted wanted to be) Hercula with her long blonde hair
(I never wanted wanted to be) Helen in the captain's chair
(I never wanted wanted to be) shy Fauna hiding everywhere
When Electra could go 'FZZZZZZT!'

Electra rocks! [fangirl babble, almost miss cue 'omg']

(Whoa)/(Supercats, Supercats)[repeat]

You were the superheroes no-one ever heard of [clap x4]
Yours was the comic book that nobody else but me
Ever read
Or admitted to whoa -
Now I don't have a single issue of the comic [clap x4]
That you appeared in though I know that I once had the lot
And the badge
Lucky me
And the pendant
Yeah yeah, lucky me
And the diary
Oh yeah! Lucky me
And the code
Lucky, lucky me

Supercats, Supercats, Hercula, Fauna and Electra, whoa
Supercats, Supercats, I wish I could recall a single adventure whoa
Supercats, Supercats, whizzing around the place jumpsuits (well, didn't everyone?)
Couldn't wait, every week, for my beloved Super-
Couldn't wait, every week, for my beloved Super-
Couldn't wait, every week, for my beloved Supercats.

'FZZZZZZT!'
