Not In a Million Years - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Not In a Million Years Lyrics

Oh, every other morning
I lie in bed awake
And wonder why the dawning
Always has to breakCould it be it must
As we all expect it to
Could it be I just
Simply haven't got a clueAnd what if it stayed behind
Had itself a change of mind
What would your impression be
How would you reactWould you simply smile and say
Don't be silly go away
Anyone can plainly see
It couldn't happen here
Not in a million yearsSo you think you're clever
Well, if you really are
Would you kindly tell me
How big is a starAnd what does it contain
Is it metal or wood

How much does it cost
Is it really any goodAnd what if they all came down
Everyone upon the ground
What would your impression be
How would you reactWould you simply smile and say
Don't be silly go away
Anyone can plainly see
It couldn't happen here
Not in a million yearsEverybody knows one and one is two
And all take for granted that it's true
Everybody know that the world is round
Although it doesn't look it from the groundEverybody knows it's right
But what if one and one were five
And the world not really round
Everywhere was just a huge flat piece of groundLook at all the animals
Living in zoos
Elephants and tigers
Lions and kangaroosDon't they all look cute
When they're hid behind a cage
Funny when they laugh
Exciting when then rageBut what if they took control
There and then reversed the role
What would your impression be
How would you reactWould you simply smile and say
Don't be silly go away
Anyone can plainly see
It couldn't happen here
It couldn't happen here
Not in a million yearsNot in a million years
Not in a million years
Not in a million years
