Not In a Million Years |
| Every other morning |
| I lie in bed awake |
| And wonder why the dawning |
| Always has to break |
| Could it be it must |
| As we all expect it to Could it be I just |
| Simply haven’t got a clue |
| And what if it stayed behind |
| Had itself a change of mind |
| What would your impression be How would you react |
| Would you simply smile and say |
| Don’t be silly go away |
| Anyone can plainly see |
| It couldn’t happen here |
| Not in a million years |
| So you think you’re clever |
| Well, if you really are |
| Would you kindly tell me How big is a star |
| And what does it contain |
| Is it metal or wood |
| How much does it cost |
| Is it really any good |
| And what if they all came down |
| Everyone upon the ground |
| What would your impression be How would you react |
| Would you simply smile and say |
| Don’t be silly go away |
| Anyone can plainly see |
| It couldn’t happen here |
| Not in a million years |
| Everyone knows one and one is two |
| And all take for granted that it’s true |
| Everybody know that the world is round |
| Although it doesn’t look it from the ground |
| Everybody knows it’s right |
| But what if one and one were five |
| And the world not really round |
| Everywhere was just a huge flat piece of ground |
| Look at all the animals |
| Living in zoos |
| Elephants and tigers |
| lions and kangaroos |
| Don’t they all look cute |
| When they’re hid behind a cage |
| Funny when they laugh |
| Exciting when then rage |
| But what if they took control |
| There and then reversed the role |
| What would your impression be How would you react |
| Would you simply smile and say |
| don’t be silly go away |
| Anyone can plainly see |
| It couldn’t happen here |
| It couldn’t happen here |
| Not in a million years |
