Opportunity Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born in the middle of the second big baby boom
Those noisy boys just might've 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

[Chorus]
Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
To shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
Don't turn around
Don't turn around

Whatever happened to the pride of the nation?
They say, "Just wait until you break formation"
Ooh

[Verse 2]
She was sitting 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'd come to her defense, then she'll pull me over

[Chorus]
Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
To shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever 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
Oo-ooh

[Verse 3]
The Fitness Institute was full of General Motormen
And the "Hello House of Beauty" wouldn't stand a chance with them
The chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector
I'd like to be his funeral director

[Chorus]
Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
To shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
Don't turn around
Don't turn around

[Outro]
Please don't turn around
Please don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around
