The Average Man - Simple Kid

The average man is 35 years old

He owns a car but he dreams of a better one

He’s overweight but he’s working on losing some

The average man of the street is mad on Streep

And he will fall in love at least two times in his life

And he will be unfaithful at least three times

He loves his wife but he sometimes dreams of a better one

Co-co, the average man, co-co

What are you looking for, average man?

The average man will spend 3 hours

Watching moving images on TV everyday

He spends 20 pounds a week on drinking and cigarettes

But every man says he will give up one day

And he is unhappy with his general appearance

And will spend over 3,000 hours shaving in the mirror

He has a face but he sometimes dreams of a better one

Co-co, the average man, co-co

What are you looking for, average man?

The average man is living for tomorrow

He cared to face the limitations today

Works hard on 3−2-6 days of the year

For a two week holiday

I saw on TV bout this man from old Birmingham

Everyday he works 17 hours

One day he’ll come home and shoot both children

And the neighbors said he was an average man

What are you looking for, average man?

Co-co, the average man

What are you looking for, average man?

What are you looking for, average man?

Ain’t nothin average about me, man
