The Lyrics
In honor of the upcoming release of the first and second seasons on DVD...
Look at what's back on TV
I can't believe it myself
Frettingly it's playing here on my tube
It should've been utterly shelved
Believe it or not
It's back on the air
I never thought it would annoy me
Retired away no warning to beware
How could it be?
Now who put it back on TV?
Just cause the writers were so lame
Powers that came from the suit
Breaking his fall with the bricks in the wall
Making him wear Mork's old rubber boots
Believe it or not
It's back on the air
I never thought it would pester me
Retired away no warning to beware
How could it be?
Oh, who put it back on TV?
This is too sad to be true
Look at me
Watching it too
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
It's back on the air
I never thought it would capture me
Retired away you know that wasn't fair
What set it free?
I love that it's back on TV
I can't believe it myself
Frettingly it's playing here on my tube
It should've been utterly shelved
Believe it or not
It's back on the air
I never thought it would annoy me
Retired away no warning to beware
How could it be?
Now who put it back on TV?
Just cause the writers were so lame
Powers that came from the suit
Breaking his fall with the bricks in the wall
Making him wear Mork's old rubber boots
Believe it or not
It's back on the air
I never thought it would pester me
Retired away no warning to beware
How could it be?
Oh, who put it back on TV?
This is too sad to be true
Look at me
Watching it too
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
It's back on the air
I never thought it would capture me
Retired away you know that wasn't fair
What set it free?
I love that it's back on TV

I liked this scenario. (I may be Culp-able for that Katt-astrophic inside joke.)
Tim - 'Making him wear Mork's old rubber boots' is soooo WRONG! Funny tho'.
Even though I absolutely love The Greatest American Hero, this is hilarious.. Good work! :P
