'The Ordinary Song' (Allan Pinches)

Oh it's allright being ordinary, it's good enough for me
It's allright being ordinary, And you're in such good company
Like blinkered Dobbin, the milkman's horse
You know what you know as a matter of course
It's allright being ordinary, it's good enough for me

Oh it's allright being ordinary, keeping both feet on the ground
Forget about chasing rainbows, There's no gold to be found
Like the schoolboy doing sums, And watching clouds roll by
He'd rather be playing with his chums  Than learning the square root of pi

Oh it's allright being ordinary -You stay out of trouble that way
No-one points a finger - You've learned the lines to say
Like the ostrich in the sand  His head buried oh so deep
The three wise monkeys know the way  To not lose any sleep

It's allright being ordinary  - Just blending into the crowd
You can have your opinions - Just don't say them out too loud
Tall poppies just get cut down  Like Lennon and J.C.
It's allright being ordinary - it's good enough for me

Oh yeah,
It's good enough for me.
