Average Person Lyrics by Paul McCartney

Average Person Lyrics

    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.
