The last time I went swimming

I started to drown

And my head it went down

And then the lifeguard he jumped in

Grabbed hold of my hair

And he pulled me to ground

He was a true life hero

Friend of every man and child

A true life hero

I really do think it'd be wild



I wonder what it would be like

To be the ultra maroon

Who was first on the moon

'Cause who could help but dislike

A man it is known

Has the guts of a prune

Wanna be a true life hero

Friend of every man and child

A true life hero

I really do think it'd be wild



I could never be like him

I could never be strong

'Cause I'm always wrong

So I'll just sit here thinking

How nice it would be

If it only was me

Who was a true life hero

Friend of every man and child

A true life hero

I really do think it'd be wild

Yes I really do think it'd be wild

Yes I really do think it'd be wild

True life hero, a true life hero

A real life, true life hero
