Superhero Soup

Nicholas Ridicolous and Michael Motorcycle went out to play
Nicholas Ridicolous threw the ball and Michael Motorcycle ran away
When Mr. Ridicolous stood in the door, he said, "Who is that child?
With a name like Motorcycle he must be a little more than wild"

Nicholas Ridicolous went inside; his mom said, "Eat your soup!"
The last thing Nicholas wanted to do was to eat any of that goop
But when he looked down into the bowl, this is what he saw
Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman too, and they were playing ball


Chorus
Superheroes in your soup say, "Come on in and play!
Nicholas Ridicolous, will you have some Superhero Soup today?"


Nicholas Ridicolous said, "Hey, guys, what's going on?"
They said, "We saw what happened to your friends out on the lawn
Have no fear, we are here, we've come to save the day"
And then, "Shazam!" said Aquaman, "Come on in and play!"

Well Nick was about to jump in the bowl when behind him he heard a voice
It was Mr. Ridicolous and he said, "What's the meaning of all this noise?
Why are you talking to your soup? I think it's the influence of that boy
Tell him to come over here right now so I can tell him he's really beginning to annoy... me"

Chorus

So Michael Motorcycle came inside; he looked really scared
But when Mr. Ridicolous started to shout, Nick whispered, "Let's go over there!"
"Where?"
"Here, inside this bowl of soup! If you drink it you'll be strong"
So Nicholas Ridicolous and Michael Motorcycle said to Dad, "So long!"

Nicholas Ridicolous and Michael Motorcycle are now happily playing catch
With Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman too; it's a made in heaven match
And Spiderman and the Green Lantern are there, and the Wonder Twins are too
And they all play in the soup all day in that Superhero Zoo

Last Chorus
Superheroes in your soup say, "Come on in and play!"
They invite everyone to have some Superhero Soup today
