an ordinary guy - michel legrand lyrics

(dusoleil is alone in the street. he turns to the audience and tips his hat, shyly.)

[dusoleil]
i don’t deserve your attention
i’m hardly worthy of mention
i’ve got a job and a pension
nothing remarkable, nothing very strange

i go to work on a monday
and to the park on a sunday
never suspecting that one day
my life would suddenly change

i’m just a guy living down the hall
a normal ordinary joe, that’s all
who’d never dream of walking through a wall
at all

it’s all beyond comprehension
why me? a slave to convention
without an ounce of pretension
no early reason why anyone should care

you might have walked by me on the stair
and not have noticed that i was there
but now my boundaries have turned to air
i was a monk in a cloister
but now the world is my oyster
if i can walk through the door
then life’s not dull anymore

now i can wander the world
why should i squander my life behind closed doors
when i can take a look at yours?
but where on earth would that get me?
it might scare me
it might upset me

still, life’s aquired a dimension
that’s quite beyond comprehension
was this divine intervention?
i won’t need these anymore
i wonder what it’s all for
what’s it for?
