You know Sally
when I was just a kid like all the others did
I used to dream a out my life's ambition
In turn I planned to be, aye, a sailor on the sea
A crook, 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
What extraordinary things we'll do

I had my dreams as well, though they're not much to tell
My schoolgirl head was filled with idle fancies!
But most of all by far I longed to be a star
The heroine of Hollywood romances!
But here I am with nothing as I planned 
An ordinary girl and gee, it's grand!

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
What extraordinary things we'll do
What extraordinary things we'll do
