The Only Normal People - Steve Forbert |
| [00:10.70] |
The only normal people |
| [00:13.27] |
That you know they're doing well |
| [00:15.53] |
And they'll be out there eating breakfast |
| [00:18.19] |
At the Nelva Courts Hotel |
| [00:20.93] |
And they'll be off and down the highway |
| [00:23.95] |
In their this year's Chevrolet |
| [00:26.24] |
And they're just three hours north of Gulfport |
| [00:28.94] |
On their weekend holiday |
| [00:31.38] |
A little getaway hey hey |
| [00:34.53] |
For the only normal people |
| [00:42.74] |
The only normal people |
| [00:44.81] |
Tell you everything's alright |
| [00:47.27] |
They said the sun comes up each morning |
| [00:50.22] |
And the stars come out at night |
| [00:52.83] |
And they said Kellogg still makes Corn Flakes |
| [00:55.76] |
And that Classic Coke is back |
| [00:58.16] |
And you know Reagan's in the White House |
| [01:00.95] |
And his hair's a natural black |
| [01:03.55] |
It's a natural fact |
| [01:06.33] |
Says the only normal people |
| [01:14.63] |
The only normal people |
| [01:17.04] |
Drink their coffee sweet with cream |
| [01:19.54] |
That's as they gaze out from their easy chairs |
| [01:22.49] |
And color TV screens |
| [01:25.16] |
And as they watch the world of problems |
| [01:27.63] |
On their cable evening news |
| [01:30.09] |
You know they wonder why |
| [01:31.90] |
Those people choose to live the way they do |
| [01:35.42] |
Don't they wanta do |
| [01:38.37] |
Like the only normal people |
| [01:46.69] |
The only normal people |
| [01:48.75] |
Do exactly as they should |
| [01:51.61] |
You know they never borrow money |
| [01:54.32] |
And their credit's always good |
| [01:56.92] |
You know they file their honest tax return |
| [01:59.72] |
A month before it's due |
| [02:02.20] |
And wave to all those nice policemen |
| [02:04.89] |
Up on Grandview Avenue |
| [02:07.46] |
Howdy-do to you |
| [02:10.13] |
Says the only normal people |
| [02:18.62] |
The only normal people |
| [02:20.96] |
Never see coc*ine or smack |
| [02:23.62] |
You know they don't smoke m*******a |
| [02:26.28] |
And they're miles away from crack |
| [02:28.94] |
And all those pills a doctor give them; |
| [02:31.30] |
Help a sinus headache some |
| [02:34.19] |
You know they'll drink because it's social |
| [02:36.87] |
But they won't have more than one |
| [02:39.57] |
Sorry gotta run |
| [02:42.33] |
Says the only normal people |
| [02:50.60] |
They go to church on Sunday |
| [02:52.94] |
With their happy healthy son |
| [02:55.64] |
Who's going to run their family business |
| [02:58.20] |
Just as they themselves have done |
| [03:00.96] |
And he will live to own a golf cart |
| [03:03.60] |
And a backyard swimming pool |
| [03:06.03] |
And he won't never sleep with boys |
| [03:08.64] |
Or think of dropping outta school |
| [03:11.29] |
It wouldn't sit too cool |
| [03:14.44] |
With his only normal people |
| [03:22.50] |
Ya the only normal people |
| [03:24.94] |
Don't know anything about |
| [03:27.41] |
Your world of sleepless night and pressures; |
| [03:30.22] |
And they never once freak out |
| [03:32.64] |
You know they run their lives on course |
| [03:35.30] |
And they keep a steady even keel |
| [03:37.89] |
They hear you talk about frustration |
| [03:40.84] |
But they don't know how it feels |
| [03:43.57] |
No it isn't real |
| [03:46.05] |
For those only normal people |
| [03:54.36] |
They eat their three square meals a day |
| [03:56.93] |
And they do their exercise at night |
| [03:59.51] |
And always look before they leap |
| [04:01.96] |
And keep their seatbelts buckled tight |
| [04:04.79] |
So they don't get into accidents |
| [04:07.60] |
And wind-up on their backs |
| [04:10.13] |
And they also don't get AIDS or cancer |
| [04:12.92] |
And they don't have heart attacks |
| [04:15.52] |
Can't you just relax |
| [04:18.47] |
Like the only normal people |
| [04:26.05] |
I bet they're down at J C Penny's |
| [04:28.99] |
For that riding lawn mower now |
| [04:31.65] |
You know that one that takes attachments |
| [04:33.97] |
Like that ten blade garden plow |
| [04:36.69] |
I bet you'll pass them down there smiling |
| [04:39.58] |
As you race to beat the bell |
| [04:42.06] |
They are the only normal people; |
| [04:44.98] |
They're ones you don't know well |
| [04:47.30] |
That you don't know well |
| [04:50.36] |
They're the only normal people |
| [04:58.03] |
That you don't know well |
| [05:01.02] |
They're the only normal people |
| [05:07.16] |
Ya ya ya |
| [05:08.88] |
That you don't know well |
| [05:11.69] |
They're the only normal people |
