If you and I should chance to meet,
I guess you wouldn't care;
I'm sure you'd pass me in the
As if I wasn't there;
You'd never look me in the face,
My modest mug to scan,
Because I'm just a commonplace And Ordinary Man.
But then, it may be, you are tooA guy of every day,
Who does the job he's told to
And takes the wife his pay;
Who makes a home and kids his care,
And works with pick or pen. . . .
Why,
Pal,
I guess we're just a pair Of Ordinary Men.
We plug away and make no fuss,
Our feats are never crowned;
And yet it's common coves like
Who make the world go round.
And as we steer a steady
By God's predestined plan,
Hats off to that almighty Force:
HE
