Born in the middle of a second big baby boom
Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon
Now I m looking for a little girlI wonder where she s gone
Big money for families having more than one
Opportunityopportunity
This is your big opportunity
They shop around
follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
Don t turn around
Whatever happened to the pride of the nation?
They say"just wait until you break formation"
She was sitting pretty on a velvet cushion
But her bedroom eyes were like a button she was pushing
She said"When they get to Dover they ll be be taking over"
I said I d come to her defense and then she pulled me over
Chorus
I m in the foxholeI m down in the trench
I d be a hero but I can t stand the stench
The Fitness Institute was full of General Motormen
And the "Hello House of Beauty" wouldn t stand a chance with them
The chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector
I d like to be his funeral director
Chorus
Please don t turn around...
