Well, I'm talking to a former engine driver (Dri-ver),

 A                                     Dm-A
trying to find out what he used to do.

Tells me that he always kept his engine (En-gine),

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.

[Dm A Dm A Dm G A] Look at the average person speak to the man on the beat Can you imagine the first one you'd meet? [A C A] 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. [Dm A Dm A Dm G] Inter:[Am G Bb F E] 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.
