Donovan – “Superlungs (My Supergirl)”
When I listened to Donovan (started singing in 1965) and “supergirl” for the first time, it sounds like he is singing about being on the road touring, and in every town he visits, there are hot young girls that are not “innocent”; but that she stays with her friends and doesn’t cross the lines.
You see this kind of chick in every town.
Whenever there’s a scene she’s always hanging around
She’s so naïve and innocent, stares at to it all
She’s only fourteen but she knows how to draw.

Supergirl, supergirl.
Supergirl, supergirl.
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her.
Supergirl, supergirl.
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her
Supergirl She’s my supergirl and I love her.
She never gets involved with blowing her cool
She’s to visit painting sky with her classmates in school
Teachers they ignore her, they would if they could
She ain’t quite grown up yet but her credence’s real good.

Donovan and Supergirl:
I think it’s about smoking marajuana or equivalent. Hence “Superlungs”! But she’s only 14. Shocking. But not about sex as some have suggested.
