Iron Man

By Swing

有個似都敏俊C 又似杜汶澤 又似系劉華
成日照住鏡 戴大眼仔差啲爆鏡
有冰冰咁似 冇GD咁正
行路搭地鐵 似系發哥嘅平凡人
繫個平凡人
仲有銀行文員似 撒雅人打爆電腦
日又扮 夜又扮 日日扮 人人勁似
似藝人 似大人 似愛人 好幼稚
葉問 扮葉問 做葉問 人人勁似
我是誰 你是誰 好慶幸 系我幾似
Iron Man Iron Man 無敵化身
鬼咁多錢 鬼咁多女 嚇窒人
公眾偶像 公眾偶像 唔夠分
邊有一位 邊有一位 會勁過
Iron Man Iron Man 純屬似樣
可以打機 可以寫歌 繼續唱
鐘意我扮 可以照扮 系似樣
好似呢位 好似呢位 郭偉亮
個個叫我做唐尼 又串又頑皮
大眼又濃眉
誰又理會我 努力作曲一九八四
我好少拍戲 你好少會理
期待我合照 細路最多確實離奇
系確實離奇
繫個奇聞離奇似 鐵甲人都算運氣
日又扮 夜又扮 日日扮 人人勁似
似藝人 似大人 似愛人 好幼稚
葉問 葉蒨文 葉佩雯 人人又似
宋慧喬 閔大人 都教授 但我好似
Iron Man Iron Man 無敵化身
鬼咁多錢 鬼咁多女 嚇窒人
公眾偶像 公眾偶像 唔夠分
邊有一位 邊有一位 會勁過
Iron Man Iron Man 純屬似樣
可以打機 可以寫歌 繼續唱
鐘意我扮 可以照扮 系似樣
好似呢位 好似呢位 郭偉亮
Iron Man Iron Man 無敵化身
鬼咁多錢 鬼咁多女 嚇窒人
公眾偶像 公眾偶像 唔夠分
邊有一位 邊有一位 會勁過
Iron Man Iron Man 純屬似樣
可以打機 可以寫歌 繼續唱
鐘意我扮 可以照扮 系似樣
好似呢位 好似呢位 郭偉亮
