The Average ManAnd he greets all his friends with a smile. The average man just wants a neat home That is cozy, when evening comes. And he doesn't care much for the frivol and shows Nor the fops, nor the blare of the drums. He is here if he has any business, here He is there if there's labor to do, And when he is done he is off somewhere else For when he is through, he is through. The average man is the salt of the earth A pretty good fellow you'll find He'll do you a favor unthinking and then In a moment 'twill pass from his mind. For he is not asking for any bouquets But he'll boost for a friend when he can He's as good as the fellows they call you or me That fellow, the average man! __Ed Blair |
