The Lyrics
I would just like to take this moment to personally condemn Jimmy Fallon for somehow reading my mind and stealing my idea (albeit with a different song) and getting it out before I could. You should be ashamed.
I don't have a suit that flies
I'm not strong or real pretty
My hammers aren't the magic kind
And my defense is kind of shitty
I'm not so well-liked
And nobody cares
They're too busy arguing over
Black Widow's hair
And it's not easy...To be Hawkeye
I wish that I was buff
Or a God like Thor
But I just look real rough
And my skill set's just a bore
It may sound absurd
But no one likes me
Even heroes can have jealousy
I might sound disturbed
But won't you concede
People even like Loki
More than me
And it's not easy...To be Hawkeye
Up up and away, they stray from me
Well it's alright,
You can all sleep sound tonight...
I'm not crazy or anything
I don't have a suit that flies
I'm not strong or real pretty
I'm not meant to fight
Aliens in New York City
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
Tagging along wherever Avengers go
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
I'm only a man, looking for somewhere to go
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
And it's not easy
Ooo, hoo, hoo
It's not easy...
To be...
Me...
I'm not strong or real pretty
My hammers aren't the magic kind
And my defense is kind of shitty
I'm not so well-liked
And nobody cares
They're too busy arguing over
Black Widow's hair
And it's not easy...To be Hawkeye
I wish that I was buff
Or a God like Thor
But I just look real rough
And my skill set's just a bore
It may sound absurd
But no one likes me
Even heroes can have jealousy
I might sound disturbed
But won't you concede
People even like Loki
More than me
And it's not easy...To be Hawkeye
Up up and away, they stray from me
Well it's alright,
You can all sleep sound tonight...
I'm not crazy or anything
I don't have a suit that flies
I'm not strong or real pretty
I'm not meant to fight
Aliens in New York City
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
Tagging along wherever Avengers go
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
I'm only a man, looking for somewhere to go
I'm only a man, shooting arrows
And it's not easy
Ooo, hoo, hoo
It's not easy...
To be...
Me...

No, it's not easy to be Hawkeye. That's why he keeps a still in the swamp and plays practical jokes. Wait a minute...
I thought this was gonna be about Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H, and the pacing was way off, but still a decent effort. 454
