One in a Million by Giles, Giles And Fripp Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He runs a little shop with a room at the top
And a mortgage all around it
His little lady will be fifty-three on Monday
And his only son's in the Navy
[Chorus]
But he doesn't shout about it
No, he doesn't shout about it
He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
[Verse 2]
He runs a little shop with a room at the top
The advertisements surround it
He's very content with the things at the moment
Except the yellow line by the pavement
[Chorus]
But he doesn't shout about it
No, he doesn't shout about it
He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
[Post-Chorus]
He's lucky and happy
Just because the battle's not for him to fight
He doesn't have a cause
Perhaps he's wrong, perhaps he's right
[Verse 3]
He runs a little shop with a room at the top
And he parks his car behind it
He's insured for a couple of thousand
And he's almost due for a pension
[Chorus]
But he doesn't shout about it
No, he doesn't shout about it
He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
[Post-Chorus]
He's lucky and happy
Just because the battle's not for him to fight
He doesn't have a cause
Perhaps he's wrong, perhaps he's right
[Verse 1 Reprise]
He runs a little shop with a room at the top
And a mortgage all around it
His little lady will be fifty-three on Monday
And his only son's in the Navy
[Chorus]
But he doesn't shout about it
No, he doesn't shout about it
He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
[Outro]
He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
[Spoken word outro: The Saga of Rodney Toady, Part 3]
Beautiful girls used to go up to Rodney at dances and ask him to dance with them. And when Rodney, happy and pleased, stepped on to the dance floor, the girls would run away and leave Rodney dancing on his own to make him look even more foolish than nature'd intended
Rodney was a very sad young man
He runs a little shop with a room at the top
And a mortgage all around it
His little lady will be fifty-three on Monday
And his only son's in the Navy
[Chorus]
But he doesn't shout about it
No, he doesn't shout about it
He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
[Verse 2]
He runs a little shop with a room at the top
The advertisements surround it
He's very content with the things at the moment
Except the yellow line by the pavement
[Chorus]
But he doesn't shout about it
No, he doesn't shout about it
He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
[Post-Chorus]
He's lucky and happy
Just because the battle's not for him to fight
He doesn't have a cause
Perhaps he's wrong, perhaps he's right

He's a one in a million
He's a one in a million
