Opportunity Lyrics - Get Happy!! - Elvis Costello

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
