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?

Doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-oo-doo-doo

Well, I'm talking to a former engine driver (driver)

Trying to find out what he used to do

Tells me that he always kept his engine (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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Look at the average person

Speak to the man on the beat

Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?

Doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-oo-doo-doo

Well, I met a woman working as a waitress (waitress)

I asked exactly what it was she did

Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides (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 right

Hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Oh...

I know someone, an engine driver

I know someone who'd been a boxer

I know for sure, I know, I know, I know that they are super

Well, I bumped into a man who'd been a boxer (boxer)

Asked him what had been his greatest night

He looked into the corners of his memory (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.

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Look at the average person

Speak to the man in the queue

Can you imagine the first one is you?

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Doo-doo-doo, doo-oo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-oo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo

Look at the average person
