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 girl, I wonder where she`s gone Big money for families having more than one Opportunity, opportunity 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 foxhole, I`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 company collector I`d like to be his funeral director [Chorus] Please don`t turn around
