The Ordinary Man

He is not interested in music, dancing, singing or art or literature
Though of football he is a big fan
On saturday evening after the game he drinks with his mates at the Local
The fellow known as The Ordinary Man

With a wife and one son of thirteen
Who with the local club plays under age football
He says my son is a great player
And a future great name for to recall

He is not interested in politics or current affairs
Of such things he does not wish to hear
His family his work and football
Are the things in life he holds most dear

He feels proud of his nickname of The Ordinary Man
To him it is a down to earth name
He seems ordinary enough in his interests
But then no two does seem quite the same

On saturday evening after the football he drinks at the local
With his best mates Joe, Willie and Stan
He will be forty on his next birthday
The one known as the Ordinary Man.
