Opportunity |
| Born in the middle of the 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 |
| To shop around, follow you without a sound |
| What ever you do now, don’t turn around |
| Don’t turn around |
| What ever happened to the pride of the nation |
| They say they’re waiting till they break formation |
| She was sittin' 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’ll come to her defense then she’ll pull me over |
| Opportunity, opportunity, this is your big opportunity |
| To shop around, follow you without a sound |
| What ever 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 |
| The fitness institute is for the general motor man |
| The holo house of beauty wouldn’t stand a chance with them |
| The chairman of this board’ll use a compliment collector |
| I’d like to be his funeral director |
| Opportunity, opportunity, this is your big opportunity |
| To shop around, follow you without a sound |
| What ever you do now, don’t turn around |
| Don’t turn around |
| Please, don’t turn around |
| Please, don’t turn around |
| Don’t turn around |
| Don’t turn around |
| Don’t turn around |
