Opportunity

Track B2
 
[Verse 1] Born in the middle of the second big baby boom Those noisy boys just might've 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 [Chorus] Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity To shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around Whatever happened to the pride of the nation? They say, "Just wait until you break formation" Ooh [Verse 2] 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 taking over" Said I'd come to her defense, then she'll pull me over [Chorus] Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity To shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around I'm in the foxhole, I'm down in the trench I'd be a hero, but I can't stand the stench Oo-ooh [Verse 3] 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] Opportunity, opportunity This is your big opportunity To shop around Follow you without a sound Whatever you do now Don't turn around Don't turn around [Outro] Please don't turn around Please don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around
