1
Darkest of night
2
With the moon shining bright
3
There's a set goin' strong
4
Lotta things goin' on
5
The man of the hour
6
Has an air of great power
7
The dudes have envied him for so long
8
Oh, superfly
9
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
10
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
11
The only game you know is do or die
12
Ah-ha-ha
13
Hard to understand
14
What a hell of a man
15
This cat of the slum
16
Had a mind, wasn't dumb
17
But a weakness was shown
18
'Cause his hustle was wrong
19
His mind was his own
20
But the man lived alone
21
Oh, superfly
22
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
23
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
24
The only game you know is do or die
25
Ah-ha-ha
26
The game he plays he plays for keeps
27
Hustlin' times and ghetto streets
28
Tryin' ta get over
29
(That's what he tryin' to do, y'all)
30
Taking all that he can take
31
Gambling with the odds of fate
32
Tryin' ta get over
33
Tryin' ta get over
34
Tryin' ta get over
35
Tryin' ta get over
36
Woo, superfly
37
The aim of his role
38
Was to move a lot of blow
39
Ask him his dream
40
What does it mean?
41
He woudn't know
42
"Can't be like the rest"
43
Is the most he'll confess
44
But the time's running out
45
And there's no happiness
46
Oh, superfly
47
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
48
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
49
The only game you know is do or die
50
Ah-ha-ha

Tryin' ta get over
56
Tryin' ta get over
57
Tryin' ta get over
58
Tryin' ta get over
59
Tryin' ta get over
60
Tryin' ta get over
61
Tryin' ta get over
62
Tryin' ta get over
63
Tryin' ta get over
