Jimmy Olsen's Blues Lyrics

I don't think I can handle this
A cloudy day in Metropolis
I think I'll talk to my analyst
I got it so bad for this little journalist
It drives me up the wall and through the roof
Lois and Clark in a telephone booth
I think I'm going out of my brain
I got it so bad for little miss Lois Lane

Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Lois Lane you don't need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite

He's leaping buildings in a single bound
I'm reading Shakespeare at my place downtown
Come on downtown and make love to me
I'm Jimmy Olsen not a titan, you see
He's faster than a bullet, stronger than a train
He's the one who got lucky, got his cape around Miss Lois Lane
I can't believe my dilemma is real
I'm competing with the Man of Steel

Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Lois Lane you don't need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of Kryptonite

Jimmy's so cute especially in played by Justin. I'd want him instead. Poor thing.

Yall have this one all wrong. It isn't about superman. It's about being a nerd going up against a meat head for a woman's love. And he's telling her to forget mr beefcake cause he has a pocket full of killer weed and a brain (stoned though it may be).

This is an amazing pump up song too. It gives you power. "I got a pocket full of kryptonite."

Pretty clear this is about a guy who has a thing for a girl who is completely out of his league. There is no girl in fiction who is more out of your league than the girlfriend of a near god, so Lois Lane is the example in the song.

The line "I'm Jimmy Olsen, not a Titan, you see," could be a reference to the Teen Titans (or by that point, the New Titans) which was a team of younger superheroes who are more famous now than back then.
