Average Person

Look at the average person

Speak to the man in the street

Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?

Well, i'm talking to a former engine driver

Trying to find out what he used to do

Tells me that he always kept his engine

Spit and polished up as good as new

But he said his only great ambition

Was to work with lions in a zoo

Oh to work with lions in a zoo

Yes dear, you heard right

Told me his ambition was to work with lions every night



Look at the average person

Speak to the man on the beat

Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?



Well, i met a woman working as a waitress

I asked exactly what it was she did

Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides

Winter time she ran away and hid

Once she had a hollywood audition

But the part was given to a kid

Yes,the part was given to a kid

Yes sir, you heard it right

Hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight



Well i bumped into a man who'd been a boxer

Asked him what had been his greatest night

He looked into the corners of his memory

Searching for a picture of the fight

But he said he always had a feeling

That he lacked a little extra height

(could have used a little extra height)

Yes mate, you heard right

He always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height



Look at the average person

Speak to the man in the queue

Can you imagine the first one is you?



Look at the average person.
