There once was a man named Clark

Who one day, decided, as a lark

To stop paying his rent

Now, Clark's days are spent 

Being homeless, at night sleeps in the park

There once was a man named Kent

Who also stopped paying his rent

But unlike Clark

He didn't sleep in the park

Kent slept over a vent

One day Kent was in the park

Bumped into his old pal Clark

They happen to discover 

Both shared the same old lover

Her name was Lois, they talked till it got dark 

They called her, said 'Remember us, honey?

We're both down and out, it isn't funny 

Was wondering if you knew

Any jobs the both of us can do?

We both really need the money'

She said 'You guys have a hard time copin'?

There's a job that just come open 

In the building where I live

We need a super, you can give

Them a call, you'll get it I am hopin''

They both went on the interview

The man said 'For this job can only hire one of you

I'm gonna hire you, Kent

Clark? Don't know where he went 

This is what I'd like to do'

'I need to hire a clerk 

To help me here at work

I'm taking a shot in the dark 

I'd like to hire Clark

I hope he's not a jerk'

So, both worked in the building, became roommates there as well

Things were great until one day, Clark started to yell

'Know who lives one floor below us?

It's her! Our old lover Lois!

I'm the clerk, Clark. Kent, you're the super. Man, hope Lois'll never tell'
