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...
