Not In A Million Years Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

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
