GEORGE:
You know, Sally
When I was just a kid, like all the others did
Heh-heh, I used to dream about me life's ambitions
In turn I planned to be, aye, a sailor on the sea
A cook, a boy scout, or even a politician
But here I am with all the dreams I've had
An ordinary chap, but still I'm glad

Ordinary people like you and me
Happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand-in-hand along an ordinary street

Ordinary people are we until
The ordinary time of day is through
And when the ordinary moon is in the ordinary sky
Heh-eh, what extraordinary things we'll do

SARAH:
Ordinary people like you and me
Happy and contented as we can be
We can walk on air on our ordinary feet
Strolling hand-in-hand along an ordinary street

Ordinary people are we until
The ordinary time of day is through
GEORGE:
And when the ordinary moon is in the ordinary sky
Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh, what extraordinary things we'll do

BOTH: What extraordinary things we'll do
