            A                                  Dm  A   
 Well, I'm talking to a former engine driver (Dri-ver),
  A                                     Dm-A 
 trying to find out what he used to do. 
  Dm                                      G  Dm    
 Tells me that he always kept his engine (En-gine),
   A                                 
 spit and polished up as good as new.
 Dm                                 
 But he said his only great ambition
  A                          Dm  
 was to work with lions in a zoo.
 A                           Dm  
 Oh, to work with lions in a zoo.
 
 Dm   A    Dm         A    
 Yes dear, you heard right,
 Dm                           G                     A    
 told me his ambition was to work with lions every night.

 Well, I met a woman working as a waitress (Waitress),
 I asked exactly what it was she did.
 Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides (Seasides),
 winter time she ran away and hid.
 Once she had a hollywood audition
 but the part was given to a kid.
 
 Yes,the part was given to a kid.
 Yes sir, you heard it right,
 hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight.

 Inter: 
 
 Well, I bumped into a man who'd been a boxer (Boxer),
 asked him what had been his greatest night.
 He looked into the corners of his memory (Memory),
 searching for a picture of the fight.
 But he said he always had a feeling
 that he lacked a little extra height
 (Could have used a little extra height).
 
 Yes mate, you heard right,
 he always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height.
